                   Fun  With  Words


     Did anybody ever notice that fun is a product of  'mixing' of words or ideas? This might not be 100 per cent correct,  
     but safe-to-say  within colloquial precision of words and talks. See below some examples.  
                                                                                                                        

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
     #   Marriage is like a midnight phone call - you get a ring and then you wake up.
   
  
 (from Funny Jokes by Prince Naman)  

    
     
#   Neurons make new-ROMs  in the brain.                                                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
     #   Some barbers sometimes behave barbaric.                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
     #   One wife to another;  "we have a strange and wonderful  relationship. He is
   
       strange and I am wonderful".        (from Funny Jokes by  Prince Naman)   
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
  
     Another way to make fun is by mixing-up words which pronounce similarly (punning), but from diffrent  languages.  
     See below some examples.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
     #   Thailand is  'thaai-land'  for some Indians.     (thaai  means aunt in some parts of  India)                  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
     #   Nagaland is not  'nag-land'  alone.     (nag in Hindi means snake)          
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
     #   Banians make shops below banyan trees.     (banians means Indian traders)                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
     #   Cut off the tail of devil, behold  there is a devi.     (devi in Hindi means goddess)


     #   Farm  ' imly '  family will form.       ( 'imly'  in Hindi means tamarind)
                                                                                          

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                             
     Similarly one can make dozens or hundreds. But be careful, you might seem to be an oddball for   some persons.        
     Another way to make fun with words is by trying to find out their origin or coinage (other than by etymology). See this      story about the origin  of the word 'restaurant'. Long back, somebody for the first time, built  a  small house and put up      a board,  'for-rest-or-rent'. Many others followed in many areas. With time and colloquialisation, 'for'  got lost and      RESTAURANT  was coined.  See another story about a university. The word 'university' possibly was coined out of      'universe'. But what a university in a few hundreds of hectares has to do with  the unknown, unmeasured universe?      Yes, there is something. A full-fledged university has facilities for study and  research in all subjects covering the whole      universe. Similarly, if you play with words you can make lots of fun and  sometimes valid propositions also. (See the      lists below)  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                          
                      
                                     

                                                                                                                                                                                          

                                                In the dictionary, one can see different meanings or definitions for words for uses in different contexts.
                                                Words with only one meaning are very less (e.g., abaya, aboulia, begone, biannual). All proper  names,   
                                                possibly, have only one meaning. Long back  I had to think hard for days together(sometimes) to find
                                                out the exact or fully correct  meaning of  words. It happened so due to my decision to get the meaning
                                                only from my memory and from my own  thinking. Ater prolonged thinking, sometimes even mixed-thinking
                                                or misthinking, I used to get the exact  meaning or the  'only word'  for the intended sense. This method
                                                enriched my power of words and writing. Also I developed some 'insight'  into formation of words from  
                                                sounds. See below in four sections, some fun, sense and stories, I could find out  during many research  
                                                years of hard  and  pure thinking, and sometimes misthinking .

  #   During the time of forest life many types of humans did not have a written script. Communications were similar to those of animals  
          in   various sounds and gestures. Afterwards  words  were coined for different purposes. See one funny coinage.  Once in a forest
          two young persons, a male and a female, were courting and loving. The male, let us call him man, went on  pleasing and pleading  
          with his female company.

                   Male:   "shall we dance?"                                                               Female:     "Um,um,  woom"
