My thanks to Phil, the Tasmanian Devil, for these:

Some of these are old, but still clever and funny.

  7. As a devoted Lexophile–my husband will tell you I never tire of words–I love these. I’m not especially into puns, in general, but there are some pretty good ones in this list. My lexophilia leans toward reading entire pages from the dictionary, just for the sheer pleasure of finding new words, and hoping for a chance to use them. If they’re funny, too, all the better.

    Thanks for sharing! 😀
