Abstract
In this article, we have decided to focus on the term “phraseological pun” as well. In this case, the last component of a phraseological unit can have a “free meaning”, that is to say it may lose its primary usage and may change the meaning to mean a different object, item or sense. This technique enables users of the metaphorical idioms to pay attention to more distinctive features of lexemes, to get into the meanings of ordinary words, to feel the expressiveness of a phraseological unit. In the English language, postpositional component of a metaphorical expression is usually used in a different meaning.
