Punny

Punny: adjective. This word has two commonly accepted definitions which most people don't realise, often mixing them up willy nilly:
1. The quality of being a pun.
2. The quality of being like a pun.
Clearly, there is a major difference between these two meanings and people should be more careful and discriminate in their usage of the word so as to not offend anyone.
