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 .

funny
stories
#
One
woman to her companion, "my husband is my 'fuss-bond'.
#
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 go for plucking flowers?" Female:
"Um"
Male:
"shall we go for swimming?" Female:
"Uum"
Male:
"shall we sing together?"
Female: "Wum"
Male:
"shall we dance?" Female:
"Um,um, woom"
The
'man' coyly giggled, "you are a woo-man"
This
is how the word 'woman' was coined.
#
A
scientist after decades of studies and research went to a seer and enquired;
"what is the meaning of life"?. The seer replied ;
"see
the dictionary ".
#
Story
of ' X ' and ' Y ' -- it is a story starting
in science( X - the unknown) and search( Y - for why) and ending again
in ' X' and
'
Y ' (REsearch).
