'not peculiar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'amusing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'amusing' could be 'funny' (I've seen this before) and 'funny' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'haha' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.
