    A bit on the history of funny remarks:

    The phrase ‘funny remarks‘ is not a single word but rather a combination of words that convey a specific meaning. The term ‘funny‘ refers to something that causes laughter or amusement, deriving from the Late Middle English ‘fonny,‘ which is likely related to the word ‘fool.‘ The term ‘remarks‘ refers to comments or statements and originates from the Middle English ‘remarken,‘ which comes from the Old French ‘remarquer,‘ meaning to mark again or observe.

    In this context, ‘funny remarks‘ collectively refers to humorous comments or statements that provoke laughter or amusement.
