well the funny bone is the bone....but if you're wondering why its CALLED funny bone, then its because a part in the funny bone is called humerus and HUMERus (its like humor but misspelled)
Your "funny bone" isn't really a bone, its a nerve.
They nicknamed it the 'funny bone' because when you hit it, it feels all funny. I hope this information was useful. Also, the name of the bone is Humerus, which sounds like Humorous (funny) 1826
The bone is called the humorous, and since humor means funny, the funny bone just caught on.

The humeri. There is only one funny bone in the body and originally its not a bone. It is a sensetion occurs due to depression over ulner nerve as they are not well covered at the site of the elbow. so this part is known as the 'funny bone'.
The funny bone isn't actually a bone. It is the unprotected ulnar nerve which runs from your elbow down to your wrist.
The proper name for the funny bone is the Humerus. Humerus sounds a lot like Humor in the English language so it gained the nickname "funny" bone.
The humerus, the long bone between the elbow and the shoulder, is sometimes called the "funny bone". This is a play on words between the word "humerus" (the bone) and "humorous" (a synonym for amusing or funny)
