If this happens, they might say "excuse [or pardon] the pun" or "no pun intended". Sometimes people say "pardon the pun" to bring attention to the fact that they have just made a pun and want the listener to know that they have punned, in case they're stupid or inattentive.
The layman's term for a pun is a "play on words." It refers to a humorous use of language where a word is used in a way that suggests two or more meanings, often for comedic effect. Puns can involve similar-sounding words or phrases that have different meanings, creating a clever twist.

Yes, A bike has 2 tires, so if it is 2 tired to stand, it makes a pun. ______________ Yes, it is a compound pun. Here is an editorial comment. "The bike is two tired to stand" is ok, but the richness of the pun is diluted because the syntax of "is two tired to stand" is strained; the sentence really calls for "too tired". I realize that the play on too and two is the point. How is this as an alternate? Can your bike stand? No, my bike can't stand; it's two-tired. "It's two-tired" maintains the correct syntax without correction, and still packs the punch of the compound pun.
