Pardon the pun

It means that you cannot resist the urge to make some dryly humorous or mildly clever play on words or concepts that are already part of the conversation. For example, if we are discussing why your dog seems to often bite himself on the left rear haunch, in the context of giving you a fairly informative and sincere answer, I may make the following statements: "Pardon the pun, but you know it's a dog-eat-dog world."
