I've stumbled across something quite fishy- and since even the accusee at hand posts threads about this kinda stuff when he finds it, I don't see why I shouldn't follow tradition.

Throughout my time battling I've looked into some of the more complex literary devices, and during this time I read up on Oronyms. An oronym is basically the technical term for wordplay- or a multi-word homophone.
Upon googling this term you can find lists of oronyms, anywhere from "The old drunks beer drips down the drain - the old drunks beard rips down the drain" to more complex ones, I had to explain that because now today in the Monsters Inc group chat, @Shodan posts this about @Nicholas vs @Lockhart

which immediately made me remember oronyms, and struck me with some strong familiarity. After going through two pages on google, the second page listed both the wordplay "Colitis Go By/Kaleidoscope eye" and "Wreck A Nice Beach/Recognize speech." Here is that page- http://www.linguisticsgirl.com/fun-w...glish-oronyms/

So.. uh, awkward?
