Lexophiles

Posted on August 28, 2009August 28, 2009 by Dot

Lex = word; phile= to like or be attracted to.  This word is not in my dictionary, but it should mean a person who loves, likes or is attracted to words. Not to be confused with a lexaholic, which would be a person who exhibits and obsessive need for or interest in words.  So for the lexophiles or lexaholics out there, here are some word plays.

Police were called to a daycare where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

We’ll never run out of math teachers because they always multiply.

A dentist and a manicurist fought tooth and nail.

A chicken crossing the road: Poultry in motion.

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

When she saw her first strands of gray hair, she thought she’d dye.

Acupuncture: a jab well done.
