No Pun Intended Meaning
2016-09-29 21:58:33 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 1⤋
The term "no pun intended" is said when someone says something that may have a double meaning and inadvertently relates to the topic they are discussing.
Often, people add the phrase "no pun intended" at the end of a line they realize just generated a pun, or sometimes they actually say it to emphasize the pun.
For example,
"I want to buy a sailboat, but I will have to float the idea by my wife..."

When there's a pun, and you didn't do it intentionally.
eg. I ran over my neighbours cat and it was in a blood y mess. No pun intended.

It means that it may have sounded like a bad joke, but they didn't intend for it to be a joke.
