A pun is a form of joke that is well-liked by those who tell it, and often despised by those who hear it. It's often a play on words, like the two examples above.
The original McDonald's jingle was "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun". That's what's in a Big Mac. And the word from Mary Poppins was "supercalifragilisticexpiallidocious".

Somehow I have the feeling that some people in this topic were just bluffing about "getting" the pun.

US/UK only? I don't know... that was an advertising jingle from the early 1980s or thereabouts, and back then, I didn't know the rest of the world existed.
Not that I know it exists now, mind you. Except you all keep popping up and making posts, so there may be something to this "round world" theory people have been talking about... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Okay both of those were really bad.
Puns used to be the highest form of wit mainly because they were a play on words and never insulted anyone....so people could laugh guiltlessly knowing that noone was getting hurt...
