“Nora,” I said, “the zucchini isn’t just GREAT, it’s AMAZING!”
“No, Daddy,” she replied. “G-R-A-T-E, not G-R-E-A-T.”
And, thus, this week’s puzzle about homophones, heteronyms, oronyms, and homographs was born.
Below, please find a list of unlikely sentences or descriptions that can be summarized by a set of homophones, heteronyms, or oronyms. Please respond with the proper words summarizing each, along with the type of set the summary contains.
Example: Banana splits in the Sahara : A desert desert (oronym)
As always, please send your reply to GeekDad Central by end of day Friday, and all reasonably correct responses will be entered into a drawing for this week’s prize, a $50 ThinkGeek Gift Certificate. Happy puzzling!
