Not really, certainly not. For example, She said she'd been skiing for years--like fun she had! or Do I want to eat raw oysters--like fun I do. This expression originated in the early 1800s with a quite different meaning, "energetically" or "vigorously," a sense now obsolete. Its present sense dates from the
1900s. Also see
for fun.
