I notice that there is only _one_ collocation, in the whole OED, for the
expression,
"no pun intended"
in the entry for 'jump'. It is used in a magazine "Black World" of 1971:
"We worry over horsepower (no pun intended)
and power steering, fashionable jump suits
and Afro haircuts. (Apr. 38/2)
Perhaps R. Paul could explain that to me.
Cheers,
JL
