Lighter Fare

It’s the weekend. That means I’m giving you a break from heavy linguistics and returning to my first love with some lighter fare:  Puns.   Enjoy!

These 2 canines provide the perfect foil for almost any humor offering.

In this case, kudos to a recent FB post from a site called Hillbilly Hijinx.

  1. But for anyone who misses the heavy linguistics, Etymonline tells us that ‘pun’ is possibly “diminutive of Latin punctum ‘point’ or “perhaps a humorous alteration of Italian puntiglio, ‘equivocation, trivial objection.'”
    Just in case.
