Stan the man's real surname was Leiber, so I'm not sure the 'Stanley' pun of his pseudonym was intentional.

The name of the health and beauty store The Body Shop is a play on automotive body shops.

... is BBC's Countryfile for countryphiles?
― StanM, Sunday, 10 March 2019 07:28 (seven years ago)
It's a programme aimed at farmers so anything that clever is unlikely.

haven't you seen the hit youtube phenomena The Countryphile Hunter? Some ex dads 4 justice/edl thug hunts down rogue farmers who haven't been rotating their soil properly and have been feeding beefburgers to swans.

Jah Wobble. Literally only this morning got it for the first time ever.

(I think?)
According to Wikipedia:
Jah Wobble acquired his stage name through the drunken, mumbled version of Wardle's name by Sid Vicious, which Wobble kept because "people would never forget it".

Yes, it's not a pun.
― Do you like 70s hard rock with a guitar hero? (Tom D.), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 19:08 (seven years ago)
Oh. Okay. I assumed it was a multivalent play on both 'jahwohl' and the oft-referenced deity 'Jah' of reggae/dub fame. Never mind me.
― A Cheetah Drenched in Applesauce (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 19:09 (seven years ago)
(TBF, I'd gone the bulk of my life never thinking it was a play on anything, so perhaps we could all just agree that I'm having a hypoglycemic spell today and call it fair dos.)
― A Cheetah Drenched in Applesauce (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 16 April 2019 19:11 (seven years ago)
It's based on John Wardle innit, so sounds like a rationalisation of a drunken slur like Inna Gadda Da Vida was In The Garden Of Eden after Doug Ingle had several bottles of wine one night. NOt a pun.

Didn't realise that donkey's years was a pun on the length of donkey's ears.

Have been familiar with mall sneaker store Shoe Biz for years, thinking the name just referred to the fact that their business was selling shoes. The lame pun on show biz just now registered.

Comedy metal act Goblin Cock = gobblin' cock, i.e. performing oral sex on a male member (fnarr) of the species. Any species, I guess.

I just spent 15 seconds believing that ptihm just might be the erudite Greek term for a paronomasia one had missed.

Another visual pun I had missed, forgotten about etc.: the ELO spaceship is meant to look like some kind of interstellar jukebox.

ELO spaceship always reminded me of this or vice/versa:
