Sometimes when we see text in a cartoon or game, a word that would be expected is replaced by a homophone -- a word that is pronounced the same, but has a different spelling and meaning.

Examples

Emphasis added:

  • E-mail specially marked -- Corn Krunch is "GROAN IN IOWA;" Chocolate Breakfast Candy Bar Pops are "PART OF THIS NEW, TRITIOUS BREAKFAST."
  • E-mail dullard -- Dullard has "THE BEST BOSS IN THE WHOLE WHIRLED."
  • Thy Dungeonman 3 -- A veggie cart dude says, "Visualize whirled peas."
  • Stinkoman 20X6 -- "FLASH 7 OR HIRE REQUIRED."
