Puny bit of humour? (3)
I believe the answer is:
pun
This could be a double definition.
'puny bit' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'humour?' is the second definition.
(I know that pun is a type of word play)
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pun that I've seen before include "joke" , "A play on words, perhaps the lowest form of wit" , "Humorous play on words" , "A play on words, not really wit" , "Humorous wordplay" .)
