I am honored by your presence here on my very obscure and little-read blog! So, you're saying that "no pun intended" actually means "pun intended" in practice. I can see that, but I still question why we need to say it. I mean, why not just say "pun intended" (which I have seen/hear people use as well) or, why not just let our puns stand on their own rather than pointing them out? Plus, what would we say if we actually didn't intend to make a pun? By the way, I love your books and your blog. Wow, thanks for the comment, Seth Godin.

As in, "yes, I know I just made a pun." I have no idea why people say "no pun intended," but you're right, it means the opposite. actually, it means “pun intended.” As in, “yes, I know I just made a pun.”
