Groan-worthy one-liner (3)

I believe the answer is:

pun

(Other definitions for pun that I've seen before include "Humorous wordplay" , "Double entendre" , "A play on words, may be funny" , "conceit by a wordsmith?" , "A play on words - not the height of wit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
