Lost in translation

@DrBoolean, could you please explain to me the meaning of the heading in chapter 4? I'm talking about this one: https://github.com/MostlyAdequate/mostly-adequate-guide-ru/blob/master/ch4.md#more-than-a-pun--special-sauce
"More than a pun / special sauce"
What did you mean by "pun" here?
From wiki: "The pun, also called paronomasia, is a form of word play that suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect".
Is that correct meaning in the context of the heading?
Hi @maksimf
Since there's also the popular indian/thai dish of the same name(curry), instead of making a bad play on words, I just wrote "more than a pun".
Definitely feel free to interpret rather than just translate. I really appreciate the work your doing!
@DrBoolean Thank you very much for the explanation, now it became clear for me :)
