How many words in english language are used as puns ? Kindly give some examples.?

Answer 1

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow
that:

electricians can be delighted,
musicians denoted,
cowboys deranged,
models deposed,
dry cleaners depressed,
bed makers debunked,
baseball players debased,
teachers declassified,
bulldozer operators degraded,
organ donors delivered,
software engineers detested,
underwear makers debriefed, and
musical composers decomposed?

On a more positive note, though, perhaps we can hope that politicians
will be devoted.

Answer 2

Here are a few puns - some of them are words with double meanings, and one is not a real word:

1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."
3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted. (assaulted)
4. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.
5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm and says: "A beer please, and one for the road."
6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"
7. "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home.'" "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome." "Is it common?" Well, "It's Not Unusual."
8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning." "I don't believe you," says Dolly. "It's true, no bull!" exclaims Daisy.
9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.
10. DejaMoo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

Answer 3

A pun is a play on words, so any word can be used, so long as it relates to the topic.

Like if you were talking about roads, say the history of a stretch of road, and you came to the end, a pun might be "so is that the end of the road for this?"

Answer 4

Too many to list in full, but here a few examples:

Place name sounding like ordinary noun -
Q. What is hot and steaming, and comes out of Cowes (=cows)?
A. The Isle of Wight Ferry.

Verb with figurative and literal meanings -
Someone blew a hole in the wall of a bank vault: police are looking into it.

Transposition between verb and noun -
Q. What is the difference between a tree and a train?
A. A tree sheds its leaves, while a train leaves its shed.

Adjectival confusion -
1st speaker: I was at the airport today and I saw a mail plane.
2nd speaker: Male? You sure it wasn't female?

Name sounding like adjective -
'Coming soon - the Adventures of Shaun the Sheep' (Shaun = shorn)

That's enough for now. My brain is getting tired :-)
