There is an English word - fun. And then there is a word _fun_ny. Now,
there is another English word - pun. Am I right that _pun_ny is not a
legal word?
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary lists it; constituting or involving a
pun
Inflected forms are punnier and punniest

merriam-webster.com and urbandictionary.com both give definitions for
punny. A google search gives many hits on the word, so the evidence
is there that, whether or not it's a traditionally legitimate word,
