like fun

  1. Not really, certainly not. For example, She said she'd been skiing for years—like fun she had! or Do I want to eat raw oysters—like fun I do. This expression originated in the early 1800s with a quite different meaning, “energetically” or “vigorously,” a sense now obsolete. Its present sense dates from the 1900s. Also see for fun.
