The phrase "NO/Pun intended"
Up to now, I still don't know when to use this phrase. What do you mean exactly when you say "NO" or "Pun intended?"

I entered a local radios station competition to write the funniest pun. I was so excited and thought I'd win because I'm such a funny guy...so I entered 10 times.
Sadly I didn't win in fact none of my puns were anywhere in the top three...I was devastated not to have any winning puns.
My wife asked "Did you win dear?"
I replied " No pun in ten did!"
Ta dah!
Get it? No
