Word play
{#if: Word play Word play is a literary and narrative technique in which the nature of the words used themselves become part of the subject of the work.  Puns, phonetic mixups such as spoonerisms, obscure words and meanings, clever rhetorical excursions, oddly formed sentences, and telling character names are common examples of word play.
