I have this idea for a crossword puzzle. Not that I'll ever actually construct one, but it's fun to think about.
It would be a themed puzzle--you know, where a bunch of the clues are related somehow. And, being who I am, it would be a series of really bad puns. Hence, the title of this entry: Fun With Homophones.*
17 Across: Child Carl, psychologist
Answer: Young Jung
23 Across: Spoiled Foie Gras
Answer: Awful Offal
47 Across and 32 Down: Canadian Colin's comedies
Answer: Mochrie's mockeries
Isn't higher education fun?
*When did these stop being "homonyms?" All those years when we were taught they were "homonyms," even though they clearly weren't the same name, since they were spelled differently. So, what are antonyms called now?
