Wordplay hides a key to reality that the dictionary tries in vain to lock inside every free word.

About This Quote

Word play is a practice of creating language that sounds like what you want it to say, but is actually something completely different. This practice is a form of humor that allows you to have a laugh inside a joke or inside a riddle. It also uses the word itself as a tool for your own personal benefit by making a situation seem more complicated than it really is thus allowing you to escape from an uncomfortable situation.
