OK Centennial High School students will participating in our 1st Annual (we hope) "National Pun Day Contest".
One part of the contest will be to try to figure out "Homophone Puns" from clues like the one above. The list is taken from Richard Lederer's book Get Thee to a Punnery published by Wyrick.
How many of these can you figure out? All of them are "homophone puns" or two words that sound the same but have different meanings and usually different spellings. The answer will be on the "Comments" page.
What do you call a(n):
1. female deer sleep
2. insect relative
3. rabbit fur
4. tiresome pig
5. line of fish eggs
6. appendage story
7. wildcat's chain parts
8. ostracized poet
9. spun globe
10. rogue's section of a church
BTW, you call a Naked Grizzly, a "Bare Bear," of course.
