More about Puns
As we can see, coffee is the most popular drink all over the world, so these puns can be sent to anyone in any place or culture. Several puns would also be enjoyed by baristas and some would be liked by all. Puns can be cute, funny, sad, or happy. They can also be inspirational or motivational at times. Hence, they can also describe a person’s mood or feelings. In the above puns, we talked about all things coffee, so a few words such as ‘latte’ was used to describe ‘a lot’ and ‘late’. These were mostly homographic puns, as the words were exploited to use something else, and have a different meaning. Similarly, the term ‘brew’ was used to portray different meanings, such as ‘brewtiful’ meant ‘beautiful’, ‘brew-tilicious’ meant ‘delicious’, ‘brew-ling’ meant ‘drooling’, and ‘brew-te’ meant ‘cute’. Similarly, ‘brewing’ was also used to portray ‘going’. The term ‘-ccino’ was used in place of ‘she know’.
Often, it is easy to understand homographic puns because the context in which we read is understandable.
Words such as ‘bean’ were used to describe the words ‘being’ (as in ‘cool beans’), ‘been’, or ‘be’ depending on the context. The word ‘froth’ meant ‘force’ (‘may the froth be with you’). The word ‘au lait’ is French and it is pronounced as ‘aw lay’.
As we can see, there are several terms associated with coffee, and all portrayed different meanings in the puns shown above.
Probably it is with puns that we get to see a vast world of certain things which we never thought existed before. They’re not only funny or amusing, but they also add a touch of personification to certain non-living things. Puns tell us how we humans live as they personify items. Sometimes, they can also be confused with riddles, especially the question-type puns, however, the biggest difference between a pun and a riddle is that a riddle asks questions based on real-life or puzzles, whereas the questions in puns can be jokingly used to mock or have weird answers. Consider this for example – “What’s the coffee equivalent of Netflix? – ‘Beanflix.’” This is used to portray how we humans have a lifestyle of our own, and it has personified coffee beans, hence it is a pun. The term ‘pun intended’ is used by several people to purposely portray that a certain thing is being mocked.
Conclusion
Not all puns are used for amusement. Certain puns are also used to describe a person’s feelings, whether they are sad, or angry, or happy, or whatever. And certain puns can also be inspiring, such as ‘Just brew it’ means ‘Just do it’, it’s just the coffee equivalent of the actual quote which can be pleasing to a coffee lover. Similarly, the pun ‘Keeping my feet on the grounds’ means that a barista is working hard and is down to earth, however, the word ‘grounds’ here doesn’t mean the actual ground, it means coffee grounds. Hence, these puns have also added a touch of coffee to certain inspirational quotes.
Hopefully, these coffee puns will help in brightening up someone’s day, till then brewbye.
