pun
ew. word play, paronomasia
The pun, also called paronomasia, is a form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. These ambiguities can arise from the intentional use and abuse of homophonic, homographic, metonymic, or metaphorical language.

Trzeba dodać "joke", bo nie każda gra słowna, czy kalambur, jest dowcipem.
