animal puns
Beastly double meanings
Animal puns are wordplay involving animals, exploiting double meanings or similar sounds: I'm not lion, you're purrfect, That joke was unbearably funny.
The category encompasses a vast repertoire of groan-inducing humor built on animal names and sounds—whale/well, deer/dear, bear/bare, otter/ought to.
They're staples of children's jokes and dad humor alike.
