I hit my funny bone...

Have you ever heard of your funny bone?? This is a useful English word/expression that has two meanings:

1- a sense of humour

That comedy really hit my funny bone!

Meaning the comedy made me laugh alot.

2- a spot on your elbow肘(ひじ) that when hit will cause your whole arm to tingleぴりぴり

Ouch! I think I just hit my funny bone, my whole arm is tingling.

So, I knocked my elbow and something hit the nerve and now my arm tingles.

The second meaning is much more common than the first, so can you answer my question readers?


Have you ever hit your funny bone?
