I am sorry for being late :/ For technical reasons I couldn't create my blog but now I'm ready to share with the humorous information with you,Ladies.
Pun- (also called paronomasia) is a form of word play that suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect.
Here is an example of pun that depend on being pronounced in a particular accent:
-Caesar salad (scissor salad) in an Italian accent:
Customer: "I'd like a Caesar salad".
Italian waiter: Sir! Are you sure you want the Scissors salad?You'll cut your mouth!"
Zeugma- is a figure of speech in which one single phrase or word different parts of a sentence.
For instance: Adam likes chocolate, Kate vanilla ( it means that Kate is not vanilla, but she likes it).
Irony- is a term for a figure of speech. Irony is when something happens that is opposite from what is expected. It can often be funny, but it's also used in tragedies.
For example: Never argue with the fool. People might not know the difference.
Marriage is the leading cause of divorce
Malapropism- is the use of an incorrect word in place of a word with a similar sound, resulting in a nonsensical, often humorous utterance.
For example: He is the very pineapple of politeness (Richard Sheridan's, The Rival).
The writer wrote a malapropism when she wrote "progeny" instead of "prodigy"
It's very interesting theme and I liked it very much. Hope you like it too
Thank you for attention!!!
