Japanese

Noun

駄酒落 ‎(hiragana だじゃれ, romaji dajare)

1. pun (a kind of words playing to make friendly atmosphere)

Usage notes

This spelling is orthographically wrong. The right form is only 駄洒落. Some people write that way because of the similarity between 酒 and 洒.

Alternative forms

• ダジャレ (most often used)
• だじゃれ
• 駄洒落 (the genuine form in kanji writing)
