    From Wiktionary, as the definition is perfect to me: a joke or type of wordplay in which similar senses or sounds of two words or phrases, or different senses of the same word, are deliberately confused.

    In Dutch, the word is literally 'word joke', which is a lot easier. :P

    You seem pretty good at recognizing the ones I apparently say all the time not realizing at all.. lol. I do know what a pun is xD

    Ah. Well, it depends. If it's a joke based on sounds of words I'm not particularly good at recognising them. I find jokes based on senses of words very easily though, as I tend to take things literal (which is usually a drawback of autism, but in some cases it can be fun :D).

    It also makes it so I sometimes extend metaphors, which can be beautiful. (although it could confuse people who have never considered what the metaphor means literally)
