The newest humor related definition comes from Joseph Epstein writing in the Casual column of the June 5 print edition of The Weekly Standard. Epstein defines a punaphor as a special case of the inappropriate metaphor, "they [punaphors] are metaphors that forget that the function of the metaphor is to show the similarity between two different things and end up showing the similarity of similar things, but always askew, invariably with unintended comic effect." Epstein's examples are broad in range including similes such as "The new socks . . . fit like a glove." and zingers such as "differing tolerances among people for the cold is a really matter of degree." This is clearly a timely article and definition. We are sure that in this election year we'll hear and see many punaphors planted in the media about "Bush being rooted in the mainstream" and, in the same vein, about "Gore waging a bloody campaign, but remaining sanguine through it all." Also, see our new CATALOG it is growing.. And , adults, visit Detritus and Deleteria. |
