National Word Nerd Day – mi az?
A National Word Nerd Day egy igazi nyelvőrülteknek szóló ünnepnap. 
Ezen a napon a szavak és a nyelv kerülnek fókuszba. Szójátékok, kreatív nyelvi megoldások és szavak szerelmeseinek közössége ünnepel.
Ez a nap rólunk, nyelvi rajongókról szól, akik imádják a szavakat.
Legyél te is büszke „word nerd” és élvezd a nyelvi játékokat!
Íme néhány:
- – I’m reading a book on anti-gravity. It’s impossible to put down!
(Pun based on “put down” meaning both to set a book aside and to criticize something.) - – Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
(A play on the ambiguity of “flies” – it’s both a verb and a noun!) - – I told my computer I needed a break, and now it won’t stop sending me KitKats.
(A pun on “break,” referencing the famous KitKat slogan “Have a break, have a KitKat.”) - – Why don’t skeletons fight each other? They don’t have the guts.
(“Guts” as both courage and literal internal organs.) - – Did you hear about the mathematician who’s afraid of negative numbers? He’ll stop at nothing to avoid them.
(“Stop at nothing” cleverly connects literal zero and the idiom meaning persistence.) - – I used to be a baker, but I couldn’t make enough dough.
(“Dough” as in money and bread-making material.) - – What’s the difference between a cat and a comma? One has claws at the end of its paws, and the other is a pause at the end of a clause.
(Wordplay on “claws” vs. “clause” and “paws” vs. “pause.”) - – I’m on a seafood diet. I see food, and I eat it.
(A humorous reinterpretation of “seafood diet.”) - – I once heard a joke about amnesia, but I forgot how it goes.
(A play on amnesia, which is the loss of memory.) - – Why was the math book sad? It had too many problems.
(“Problems” as both mathematical equations and emotional struggles.)
Happy National Word Nerd Day!
