Etymology and usage

The word fun is associated with sports, entertaining media, high merriment,^[2] and amusement. Although its etymology is uncertain,^[1] it has been speculated that it may be derived from Middle English fonne (fool) and fonnen (the one fooling the other).^[3] An 18th century meaning (still used in Orkney and Shetland^[1]) was «cheat, trick, hoax», a meaning still retained in the phrase «to make fun of».^[4]

The landlady was going to reply, but was prevented by the peace-making sergeant, sorely to the displeasure of Partridge, who was a great lover of what is called fun, and a great promoter of those harmless quarrels which tend rather to the production of comical than tragical incidents.
Henry Fielding, The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling (1749)^[5]

The way the word fun is used demonstrates its distinctive elusiveness and happiness. Expressions such as «Have fun!» and «That was fun!» indicate that fun is pleasant, personal, and to some extent unpredictable. Expressions such as «I was making fun of myself» convey the sense that fun is something that can be amusing and not to be taken seriously. The adjective «funny» has two meanings, which often need to be clarified between a speaker and listener. One meaning is «amusing, jocular, droll» and the other meaning is «odd, quirky, peculiar». These differences indicate the evanescent and experiential nature of fun and the difficulty of distinguishing «fun» from «enjoyment».^[6]

Fun’s evanescence can be seen when an activity regarded as fun becomes goal-oriented. Many physical activities and individual sports are regarded as fun until the participant seeks to win a competition, at which point, much of the fun may disappear as the individual’s focus tightens. Surfing is an example. If you are a «mellow soul» (not in a competition or engaging in extreme sport) «once you’re riding waves, you’re guaranteed to be having fun».^[7]

The pleasure of fun can be seen by the numerous efforts to harness its positive associations. For example, there are many books on serious subjects, about skills such as music, mathematics and languages, normally quite difficult to master, which have «fun» added to the title.^[8]^[9]^[10]

Activities

Many physical activities provide opportunities to play and have fun. Not only can these activities be fun, but can also improve physical and mental states.

Psychology

World War II era employment poster about the importance of fun

According to Johan Huizinga, fun is «an absolutely primary category of life, familiar to everybody at a glance right down to the animal level.»^[11] Psychological studies reveal both the importance of fun and its effect on the perception of time, which is sometimes said to be shortened when one is having fun.^[12]^[13] As the adage states: «Time flies when you’re having fun».

It has been suggested that games, toys, and activities perceived as fun are often challenging in some way. When a person is challenged to think consciously, overcome challenge and learn something new, they are more likely to enjoy a new experience and view it as fun. A change from routine activities appears to be at the core of this perception, since people spend much of a typical day engaged in activities that are routine and require limited conscious thinking. Routine information is processed by the brain as a «chunked pattern»: «We rarely look at the real world», according to game designer Raph Koster, «we instead recognize something we have chunked, and leave it at that. […] One might argue that the essence of much of art is in forcing us to see things as they really are rather than as we assume them to be».^[14] Since it helps people to relax, fun is sometimes regarded as a «social lubricant», important in adding «to one’s pleasure in life» and helping to «act as a buffer against stress».^[15]

For children, fun is strongly related to play and they have great capacity to extract the fun from it in a spontaneous and inventive way. Play «involves the capacity to have fun – to be able to return, at least for a little while, to never-never land and enjoy it.»^[15]

Physiology

Some scientists have identified areas of the brain associated with the perception of novelty, which are stimulated when faced with «unusual or surprising circumstances». Information is initially received in the hippocampus, the site of long-term memory consolidation, where the brain attempts to match the new information with recognizable patterns stored in long-term memory. When it is unable to do this, the brain releases dopamine, a chemical which stimulates the amygdala, the site of emotion, and creates a pleasurable feeling that is associated with the new memory.^[16] In other words, fun is created by stimulating the brain with novelty.

In popular culture

With the emergence of entertainment industry, fun is sold as a consumer product in the form of games, novelties, television, toys and other amusements. Marxist sociologists such as the Frankfurt School criticise mass-manufactured fun as too calculated and empty to be fully satisfying.^{[citation needed]} Bill Griffith satirises this dysphoria when his cartoon character Zippy the Pinhead asks mechanically, «Are we having fun yet?» In the Beatles song «She’s Leaving Home» fun is called «the one thing that money can’t buy.»^[17]

English[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle English fonne, fon (“foolish, simple, silly”) or fonnen (“make a fool of”), from Middle English fonne (“a fool, dupe”), probably of North Germanic origin, related to Swedish fånig (“foolish”), Swedish fåne (“a fool”). Compare also Norwegian fomme, fume (“a fool”). More at fon, fond.

As a noun, fun is recorded from 1700, with a meaning “a cheat, trick, hoax”, from a verb fun meaning “to cheat, trick” (1680s). The meaning “diversion, amusement” dates to the 1720s. The older meaning is preserved in the phrase to make fun of (1737) and in usage of the adjective funny. The use of fun as adjective is newest and is due to reanalysis of the noun; this was incipient in the mid-19th century.

Alternative etymology connected Middle English fonne with Old Frisian fonna, fone, fomne, variant forms of fāmne, fēmne (“young woman, virgin”), from Proto-West Germanic *faimnijā, from Proto-Germanic *faimnijǭ (“maiden”), from Proto-Indo-European *peymen- (“girl”), *poymen- (“breast milk”). If so, then cognate with Old English fǣmne (“maid, virgin, damsel, bride”), West Frisian famke (“girl”), Saterland Frisian fone, fon (“woman, maid, servant,» also «weakling, simpleton”).

Adjective[edit]

fun (comparative more fun or funner, superlative most fun or funnest)

(informal) Enjoyable or amusing.

We had a fun time at the party.

He is such a fun person to be with.
- 2016 January 11, Tom Bateman, quoted in Nigel Hunt, «Jekyll and Hyde, TV revamp of Robert Louis Stevenson classic, debuts on CBC-TV» CBC News, Canada:
  
  He’s the liberated character that everyone wants to be, so he was very fun to play
(informal) Whimsical or flamboyant.

This year’s fashion style is much more fun than recent seasons.

Usage notes[edit]

Note that, prescriptively, the adjectival use of fun, instead of funny as in a funny movie, is often considered unacceptable in formal contexts. This includes censure of the comparative and superlative funner and funnest, but equally constructions such as very fun (rather than, say, a lot of fun). For more, see Quinion’s discussion.

FUN

вот это — главное американское слово из приличных. Сколько раз слышишь этот основной американский вопрос: Have fun? В известном смысле поиметь «fun» — цель жизни, во всяком случае, в понимании нынешнего поколения. Зарабатываем мы для того, чтобы, в конечном счете, этот «fun» получать. И всякие хобби — ради того, чтобы испытать «fun». Вот и мы для него эту книжку пишем.

Как перевести? В принципе, просто: to have fun — получать удовольствие, развлекаться. И в то же время очень сложно, потому что современный смысл гораздо глубже. Приколоться и повеселиться — это лишь надводная, хотя и обязательная, часть айсберга. А ниже, под водой, такие понятия, как «самореализация», «счастье», «удовлетворенность жизнью» и т. п.

Как объяснить смысл жизни? В православной культуре наша жизнь — только тест, и знаменитая фраза Осипа Мандельштама, обращенная к жене, «Надя, а кто тебе сказал, что мы должны быть счастливы?» абсолютно не случайна не только в контексте ужасов коммунизма, но и в более общем контексте русской культуры. Западная культура совершенно иная, и опять же не случайно право на стремление к счастью (т. е., на нынешнем языке, к этому самому fun) записано в американской конституции. Для нас грех — излишнее веселье (все ждешь какой-нибудь гадости), для них грех — уныние.

Funny — забавный, прикольный, неординарный.

fun

(fŭn)

1. Enjoyment; amusement: We had fun at the beach.

2. A source of enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure: Was the party fun?

v. funned, fun·ning, funs Informal

v.intr.

To speak or act facetiously; joke or fool.

v.tr.

To tease or speak playfully to.

adj. Informal

Enjoyable; amusing: «You’re a real fun guy» (Margaret Truman).

Idiom:

for/in fun

As a joke; playfully.

[Possibly from fon, to make a fool of, from Middle English fonnen, to fool, possibly from fonne, fool.]

Usage Note: The use of fun as an adjective probably originated when people heard the noun in sentences like Skiing is fun and interpreted it as a predicate adjective along the lines of Skiing is enjoyable. From there it was a short step to using fun attributively to modify a noun, as in a fun time or a fun place. This usage has become widespread and must be considered standard; in our 2015 survey, the sentence We went to a fun party was judged acceptable by 84 percent of the Usage Panel. The inflection of the adjective (as funner, funnest) is another matter. Although the inflected forms have been in use since the 1950s, they are almost never found in edited prose aside from direct quotations, usually of children. In our survey, funner and funnest were rated as unacceptable by 88 percent and 80 percent of the Panelists, respectively, and most of the remainder rated them as merely «somewhat acceptable.»
