"No pun intended" = không có ý chơi chữ đâu -> câu nói hài hước khi ai đó thừa nhận mình vừa chơi chữ, cách chơi quá thông minh hoặc quá ngu ngốc, đôi khi vô tình, đôi khi không.
Ví dụ
Yeah, I'm more interested in running to Sofi than running the table. The Packers had to do that in 2016 to keep their playoff hopes (hi vọng) alive. This year, Green Bay is out in front of the pack (no pun intended). The Packers' focus needs to be on getting healthy and making sure they're the best versions of themselves come playoffs.
At the end of episode four, we see Stewy and Josh (Adrien Brody) hugging each other on the tarmac and Kendall stewing about that interaction. No pun intended.
Since none of them wanted to take a back seat to any of the others, a moniker (biệt danh) like “Norfolk/Virginia Beach Metropolitan Area,” as twin-city trendy as some thought it, could never have worked. And while “the 757″ had the ring (no pun intended) of brisk hipness to its proponents, it seemed callow and short-sighted to those who remembered the last time the phone company switched the area code.
Is it broken? Most of the time the answer to that is, “I don’t know.” Other times, it is painfully obvious. No pun intended. So, what does a fracture (chỗ bị gãy) look like when it is not obvious?
