Which words in these sentences are used as puns? 1. An English teacher is like a judge in that she hands out long sentences. 2. A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

here is the definition PUN- The 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.

OpenStudy (abstract_undercover):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Long sentences and manor, they both have 2 meanings in the sentences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

long sentences can mean sending someone to jail or giving them work (in school) to do

OpenStudy (ilovebmth1234):

i was thinking( judge )and (castle )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and manor meaning home or meaning of speaking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, thats not right. The woman is a judge but thats not a pun. The man lives in a castle, thats not punny either. Punny is a pun though.
