I don’t think it’s a pun on the word “honeydew”
― G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Tuesday, 14 March 2023 21:15 (three years ago)
I've always heard it as a pun.

Next thing y’all will be telling us is that Dew Drop Inn is not a pun.

My example doesn't make sense unless you rhyme "live" with "jive", not with "give".

Not a pun, but I saw Night at the Museum for the first time, and just realized the title is not supposed to mean “A Night at the Museum” (it takes place over three nights!) and is instead “Nighttime at the Museum”i.e., it is not the story of one eventful night at the museum but instead an exploration of what happens to the museum at night

It has only just dawned on me that the Oyster card used to travel around London is named for the idiom 'the world is your oyster'. I am a doofus.

Also I guess that it has two halves and a hinge - I don't think of either as a pun though.

In Hong Kong it's called an Octopus card.

puns that you had missed
― the world is your octopus (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 15 April 2023 12:26 (three years ago)
Yeah, definitely not a pun. Should have gone in the 'things you only just learned' thread.

If it ain’t stiffed, it ain’t worth a pun.

Not sure this is a pun but I just realized "self-own" and "cell phone" are homophones
― when you wish upon a tsar (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 22 April 2023 20:02 (three years ago)
It’s not a pun unless you use the homophone as the basis for a joke
― G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Saturday, 22 April 2023 20:24 (three years ago)
For fuck’s sake
Is this just the rhyme thread now, I mean
you used to call me on my self-owns

paris is a moveable feast
― corrs unplugged, Monday, 24 April 2023 08:36 (three years ago)
or well is it that a pun or just wordplay
― corrs unplugged, Monday, 24 April 2023 08:41 (three years ago)
Well, liturgically speaking, a fixed feast day occurs on the same day every year - the feast of St. Patrick is always going to be March 17.
A moveable feast wanders around the calendar because its date depends on an astrological event (e.g., an equinox) and/or must be on a certain day of the week. Ash Wednesday, Mandy Thursday, and Good Friday, are moveable because they have to be calculated backwards from each year's Easter. Part of why different churches have different Easters.
― when you wish upon a tsar (Ye Mad Puffin), Monday, 24 April 2023 10:37 (three years ago)
I remember the history module on Medieval Ireland going into how the leader of teh Irish monks could calculate the date of Easter more accurately than Rome did. Through use of computans etc intricate counting systems and calculation using ones fingers, including various knuckles etc.That at a time when the Irish monasteries were about the best place for maintaining Latin and Greek scholarship.
Also, reminded of Rabelais talking about Paris being named after laughter in Pantagruel but not having the details offhand. Pa Ris being the breakdown though.

In He-Man, the bad sorceress is (excellently) named 'Evil Lyn'. But now I'm wondering if it's a pun on Evelyn?

What would the pun be?
