puns that you had missed

HAHA

!

Not so sure I buy "Anna Stesia" as "Anesthesia," but I've also never decided whether "Annie Christian" is supposed to be a half-assed play on "anti-Christian." Because if it is, it's awful.

Can I introduce you to Silverchair's "Anna's Song," which makes a very deep and important point with the lyric

"'Cos Anna wrecks ya heart
Like Anna wrecks
ya"

we're about two seconds away from posting "If You Seek Amy" in here

oh christ, I always hated that fucking lyric. I liked the song ok enough until I heard that

the full second lyric is actually "and Ana wrecks your life/like an anorexia life"

and the opening is "Please die Ana/for as long as you're here, we're not"

ugh

dang, my sneered-at but misheard version is actually better

Annie Areyouokay

poor ol' Annie Ruok

xps well tbf Daniel Johns struggled with anorexia for years, I can forgive the cringe pun

I really wanna say "death of the author" but

I realized today the title of the movie Sully is a dumb and obvious pun that I had missed, ie that the NTSB inquiry is an attempt to "sully" the pilot's reputation?

I mean, it's the actual nickname of the actual pilot?

Hence a pun!

circles within circles

xxpost

Yes, thank you for that information.

Is 'Roland Schitt' a pun?

From the television program Schitt's Creek

which is a pun, to be clear

Schitt's Creek = pun I had not missed
Roland Schitt = pun I had missed

To be clear, it was a genuine question. I don't know if it's a pun or not.

On 'roll in shit' or 'roll and shit'? I guess both would be a bit lame for different reasons.

A roll and shit, like a roll and sausage.

So is the name of US indie band Purling Hiss a spoonerism of Hurling Piss or what?

xp to Dowd oh I definitely think it's there. Roll in shit.

sounds great, no wonder it won all those Emmys

Oh u

Just realized the word 'cube' is (phonetically) contained within the name 'Q-Bert'.

woah

Dick's Wings

Stankonia????!

Wikipedia sez:

In March 1998, André 3000 and Big Boi purchased a studio off Northside Drive in Atlanta which had formerly belonged to R&B singer Bobby Brown. The studio had sentimental value for the duo, as it was the first place the two had ever recorded vocals together, on a remix of TLC's "What About Your Friends" (1992). The two named the studio "Stankonia", a word created by André 3000 as a combination of the words "stank", a slang synonym for "funky", and "Plutonia", the title of a poster in his bedroom depicting a futuristic city. He explained, "Stankonia is this place I imagined where you can open yourself up and be free to express anything".

hmm

yesterday i said to my son “that’ll put some stank on ya” and was like ohhhhhh

it's used with that double meaning in the lyrics at the end of the album

lol "puns you were too faded to have clocked"

Lindley took no notice, went to compete in a rodeo, and was told by the doubtful rodeo manager that there would be "slim pickin's" (i.e. little chance of any prize money) for him.

There's a major fashion franchise here in Australia called Cotton On. It's been around for decades but I only just twigged the other day.

you only just what?

I only just got it!

would you say you... cottoned on?

Indeed I would!

lol

Only just this moment realized that Indiegogo is a play on indigo.

Yeah, I know, I've already scheduled the tests for my brain.

I don't know if it is? why would it be? It's not their brand color or anything

New Power Generation

Like, I only thought of it as the name of a new generation. But power generation is a thing. Maybe it’s even a pun on nuclear power generation.

I had missed the indigo/indiegogo thing too

Purple puns you had missed
