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 funny bone, which actually is not a bone at all but instead a nerve in the elbow.

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

Your "funny bone" isn't really a bone, its a nerve.
The "funny bone" is not actually a bone but a nerve called the ulnar nerve. When you hit your funny bone, you are actually hitting the nerve which runs along the inner part of your elbow. The term "funny bone" likely comes from the tingling or funny sensation you feel when you hit it.
The native Americans call the gun a fire stick. It is not funny dude
elbow
your elbow
Because it does not feel the best when you hit it or bump it and it is called the humerous which clearly has the word humer in; Humerus means it is funny or makes you laugh which makes it clear that the nickm=name is funny bone! -Abby
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)
