English—what a great language to have fun with! Below are homophones, words that sound alike but have different meanings. (And, yes, I’ve taken a few liberties.)
Don’t You Just ♥ Words?
want | wantin’ | wanton | wont | wonton
My wont isn’t wantin’ to be wanton —
I just want a wonton. Want one?Translation:
I’m not usually fresh; I’m just reaching over you for a fried wonton.
These are mine. See if you can find others . . . or come up with your own. This is good exercise for the brain—so feel free to play along!
