Well, I bet you can guess what this thread is about!
For those that don't know what these are:
Onomatopoeia - Words made to describe sounds. For example, "boom", "crash", "zip", etc.
Oxymoron - Two words that conflict each other, but still make sense! For example, "civil war" and "jumbo shrimp".
Pun - A play on words, meant to be funny (and often annoying). These require a bit more of a context. Here are some I found on a site: "I did a theatrical performance about puns. Really it was just a play on words."
[Here, the pun lies in 'lay on words', which is the definition of a pun, but also a way to describe a play based on puns.]
"Puns about monorails always make for decent one-liners."
[Here, the pun lies in 'one-liners'. This pun, in itself, is a one-liner, and it is about monorails, which are single-rail trains.]
So, hopefully this will be as successful as the Anagrams thread.
Please take time to put in a relevant response!
Again, to get things started (please label which device you are sharing): Onomatopoeia - boom, crash, zip Oxymorons - jumbo shrimp, civil war Puns "I did a theatrical performance about puns. Really it was just a play on words." "Puns about monorails always make for decent one-liners."
My job is secure. No one else wants it. If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"?

The rusty spigot sputters, utters a splutter, spatters a smattering of drops, gashes wider; slash splatters scatters spurts finally stops sputtering and plash! gushes rushes splashes clear water dashes
