Homonyms and other Wordplays

Alan Cooper's Homonyms is the very stuff of car games, waiting-in-line games and restaurant games. As a gamelike experience, try the Hinky Pinky approach: select a homonym, think of a definition for the word pair and see if your playpal can guess the words. You ask for an example? Try: things done with a chopping tool. If you can't figure out the answer, look at the second item in Alan Cooper's Homonym list.

For a compendious list of links to other sources for word play, see, oddly enough, the previously blogged Word Play, where I found, for example, The Daily Arrebus
