My thanks to Katie Flint who suggested this much-loved little word as evident by the many, many, many times it's used in brochures, press releases, on the web and in oral communication. It's a great word that intills emotion -- but can mean so many things.
Keep in mind that FUN can be used as both a noun (join in the fun) and an adjective (this program is fun.) As a bonus, I’ll share two lists covering both parts of speech. Have fun! If you don’t, you likely to have the opposite – don’t miss the antonyms at the end of the lists
Fun – adjective: meaning happy, entertaining, amusing
Fun – noun meaning amusement, comedy, merrymaking, sport, spree
Antonyms - So what’s the opposite of fun?
Boredom
Gloom
Misery
Mourning
Sadness
serious
Sorrow
Tedium
Tragedy
Unhappiness
(No wonder the business of “fun” is so critical! Those alternative are down-righ gloomy!)
