Anagrams that you might have missed: Axl Rose

the Seattle

Lox arse.

O_ _ _ S_ _

Oral Swex

Loraxes?

After moving to Los Angeles, he became so engrossed in his band AXL that his friends suggested he call himself Axl Rose.[16][31] He legally changed his name to W. Axl Rose prior to signing his contract with Geffen Records in March 1986.

The "W" is just for plausible deniability!

(Joke, by the way. I knew the intended anagram.)

In the meantime I suggest to you that The Velvet Underground can be anagrammed as Vented Doughnut Lever.

Whoa

I know this isn't quite the point but I've just realised Match of the Day is a pun on catch of the day

— Sophie Hall (@SophLouiseHall) March 10, 2023

is it really though

Asking the same question, for a friend.

It kind it has to be, otherwise it doesn’t make any sense. It’s a weekly show

Doesn’t it go back to when they’d only show one match rather than highlights from everywhere.

Might still be a play on catch of the day I suppose.

It’s inconclusive to me.

Even if it’s a weekly show, could mean the match they chose to show on that day, or the match they think you should watch on that day as opposed to other matches you could watch elsewhere.

I guess if the three words “of the day” were not used other than in “catch of the day” then it would mean yes, it is a pun. You’ve convinced me, rabbit. I’ll look elsewhere in the city for puns.

Seems like sometimes people make the pun go back in the other direction and say “catch of the day” instead of “match of the day.”

IMDb

Match of the Day (TV Series 1964– ) - Connections
"The Little and Large Show" Episode #2.6 (TV Episode 1980). Spoofed as "Catch of the Day". "What's Up Doc?" Episode #1.23 (TV Episode 1993).

Also...

... the title was first used by the BBC for its Wimbledon tennis highlights programme in June 1964

Even if it’s a weekly show, could mean the match they chose to show on that day, or the match they think you should watch on that day as opposed to other matches you could watch elsewhere.

You couldn't watch any other matches when it started, it was the only football highlight show on Saturday nights - and it only showed one match, the match of the day.

You couldn’t go watch a match in person?

OF course, but it was the only place to watch football on TV on Saturday night - in England, that is, they didn't show it in Scotland for years.

In my dialect, "match" and "catch" are near-rhymes at best.

Honey Don't

I mean I figured it out a few decades ago but still.

Now there's a jar I'll reach into.

I had to ask Bing Chat what it was a pun on. Never heard of honey do.

honeydew!
