- Puns - Puns may refer to:
- MythAdventures - MythAdventures is the collective name for a series of humorous fantasy novels written by Robert Lynn Asprin that are popular for their whimsical nature, myriad characters, and liberal use of puns. Each novel's title makes a pun on the similarity between the word "myth" and either the prefix "mis-" or the word "miss", with the exception of the first, which puns on the phrase "Another fine mess" (which was, incidentally, almost the novel's title due to a misunderstanding with book's publisher).
- High School! Kimengumi characters - has a large cast of characters. Because there are so many puns in Kimengumi, including the names of all of the characters, all of the character names appear in Japanese order (family name, given name) so that the jokes found in the names make sense.
- Spanish-English translation problems - Spanish is a language with a rich heritage of idiomatic expressions, folk sayings, word plays, puns and other "untranslatables" which can pose a considerable challenge to the translator.
- Kyōshi - is a form of Japanese poetry using only Chinese characters which was popular around 1770-1800. Kyōshi avoids typical poetic forms, and often includes humorous expressions and puns on alternate readings or meanings of the same characters.
