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.”

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?

Think Fast, Mr. Mojo Risin’ (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 March 2023 18:38 (one year ago) link

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.

I don’t think it’s a pun on the word “honeydew”

G. D’Arcy Cheesewright (silby), Tuesday, 14 March 2023 21:15 (one year ago) link

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.

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.
