Puns with puns

Precisely

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

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.

Curl Up and Dye Salon

Mötley Crüe: "I'm a live, live wire", which is also "I'm alive, live wire".

What

Do any of you know what a pun is ffs

dew you???

Mötley Crüe = motley crew

lol are you trolling silby

Motörhead: motorhead

lol nm, I can only remember four posts ago on a Friday

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

'cause I'm a live ... Liv Tyler!

pun-ditry itt is pun-ishing

reading this thread is a lot of pun

A thread filled with PUN, that’s what I love

Tragic Kingdom 🤦‍♂️

slay tracks

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.

The world is your octopus

puns that you had missed

Yeah, definitely not a pun. Should have gone in the 'things you only just learned' thread.

I.... oh... never mind

Puns that you had miffed

Puns that you had muffed

Dark Knight.

There really is no pun that I ever got first time around.

Puns that you had whiffed

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

It’s not a pun unless you use the homophone as the basis for a joke

For fuck’s sake

Is this just the rhyme thread now, I mean

you used to call me on my self-owns

Nicely done

paris is a moveable feast

or well is it that a pun or just wordplay

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.

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?

Always trying to provoke a Waugh

I thought he was just a bit brain dead.
Oddly seems to think he runs the place.
