LEXOPHILIA
‘Lexophile’ is a word used to describe those that have a love for words, such as ‘you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish’. A competition is held every year to see who can come up with the best word plays. Here are a few samples, including the overall winner …
• When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.
• A thief who stole a calendar got 12 months.
• With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.
• Police were summoned to a day-care centre where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
• When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.
• When she saw her first strands of grey hair, she thought she’d dye.
And the winner …
• Those who get too big for their pants will be totally exposed in the end!
