This is not exactly your word play but it happens all the time so I couldn’t resist:

Nunavut ( ᓄᓇᕗᑦ) is the largest and newest federal territory of Canada. – It’s literal meaning is “our land” with the emphasis in the Inuit mind firmly on the our. Properly said in Inuktitut it sounds like new/na /voot.

If you listen to most people in the rest of Canada, they say it as none/of/it. Exactly how much the Inuit plan to give us.

I’m not a writer, just a foodie blogger (sometimes), but I came across this post thanks to my PB subscription. Great suggestions, I am now rocking my brain to figure out how to implement some of them.
In the meantime, I’ll play with the grownups:
Teen aged: Had a teen? Then you’ve Aged.
Rep tile: someone who sells tile
En tire: where your rims go

you have some great responses here to your contest! I followed you over from ProBlogger… and since I do a little proofreading for a living, I couldn’t help but notice you have a couple of typos – defintion (twice!) Sorry to be critical, really loved your post!

Thanks for the chuckles.
