Fun

Fun is enjoyment or pleasure and, according to Johan Huizinga, " an absolutely primary category of life, familiar to everybody at a glance right down to the animal level."^[1] Fun may be encountered in many human activities during work, social functions, recreationand play, and even seemingly mundane activities of daily living. The distinction between enjoyment and fun is difficult to articulate but real,^[2]fun being a more sponteous, playful, and active event.

Fun can also refer to the activity itself that is enjoyable, thus "skiing is fun", however, a bad fall may "take the fun out of skiing".

The perception of time is shortened when one is "having fun".
