Synopsis

Words have a meaning that is generally accepted by all individuals sharing or using a specific language. Invented words, however, such as puns, are created with the purpose of giving delight or entertainment. Although puns are often thought to be the “lowest form of humour”, they demand considerable linguistic information and background knowledge to understand and enjoy them. As distinct from other dictionaries whose entries are real English words susceptible of word play, e.g. butter = She wanted to go, butter mother wouldn’t let her; juice = Population of Israel (J.S.Crosbie, Dictionary of Puns), this dictionary contains well over 1.000 one-word puns, mostly homophonic, followed by their corresponding definition, even though some of them are self-explanatory like ‘abdominable’, ‘afictionado’, ´boath`, ‘funtastic’ or ‘rejoyce’. Besides being amusing, puns can also be applied to real-life situations, as shown in my other Amazon book, A Handful of Punning Mini Stories.
