In Brazilian Portuguese there are several, so many that one gets tired... The 'pun' word itself, in BP means 'fart' (pum) which creates a lot of interesting jokes. For example, we have a tart called 'empanada' - an advertsing shout 'Para que serve uma barriga vazia, ein? Pá nada!' - 'what an empty belly is good for, huh? For nothing!'. (it's impossible to explain a pun...)

Thank you for the information on Brazilian puns, however I cannot let someone call an empanada a "tart", a tart must be open, whereas an empanada must be covered.

All pendants must be hung?

You got it!

I don't know Portuguese, but from what I can understand the pun translates perfectly to Spanish. Incidentally, pun also translates to fart.

– ¿Para qué sirve una barriga vacía? – Em, ¡Pa' nada!"
