Latinity Puns

I have two favorite titles that are extremely clever puns.

“Shawn the Sheep” “Dexter”

“Shawn the Sheep” is a sly play on the dialect of the characters in the animation. “Shawn” and “shorn” have the same pronunciation in the dialect of the outskirts of Bristol, UK.

“Dexter” is a wonderful Latin pun. “Dexter” is the word for “right” and “Sinister” is the implied compliment, the word for “left” in Latin. Dexter is a series about a serial killer who only murders those guilty of crimes. His name in Latin implies he is the opposite of sinister, right or just.

but he hesitated

...but I declined.

My 10yo son always asks for ice water with his meals. The past few weeks he's told me to put exactly eight ice cubes in his glass. I went with it because he can be very peculiar about certain things, and I just figured he had decided it was the perfect amount of ice.

Today he again asked me for water with eight ice cubes, but as I was getting it he said "I bet you're glad that in two days, I'll stop asking for eight ice cubes." To which I asked "why not?" And he said... "Because it won't be Octo-brrrrrrrrr anymore!"

Oreggaeton.

The Latin scholar says to the bartender: "Salve! Nemo vestri hoc scriptum intelleget ergo quis se curat?"

The bartender says: "It's been a long time since you last visited Rome, hasn't it?"

Is the Latin root of all evil

“Syncope” they call it medically, I said.

“Ah, that must be Latin for ‘one with the floor’.” He replied.

MCMIX.

A roman walks into the bar and asks for a Martinus.

"You mean a martini?" the bartender asks.

The Roman replies, "If I wanted a double, I would have asked for it!"

Another Roman walks into the bar, holds up two fingers and says, "Five beers please!"

But it wouldn’t be kosher.

Bikinus.

He said he was peforming an eggcorism

This contrasts with the modern system, where tor is for both men and women, and trix are for kids.

It’s just Roman around

Itenticle.

that is something you definitely need to address

But it wasn't Stroganoff.

Then I went to sceince class

Because the Roman charges are too much!

I'm going to be sick.

But then declined.

It wanted to be a Roman-tic

In other words, it's a misgnomer.

She was wearing antlers for 'Saturnalia', and upon receiving a compliment for it, she said, "Thank you, I'm trying to branch out."

A roman walks into the bar, holds up one finger and says, "I'd like to order 1 Martinus".  The roman pauses, holds up two fingers and says, "and five beers".  The bartender says, "Don't you mean martini?"  The roman says, "no, just the one."

The bartender says, "I, for one, do not like Roman numerals"

The bartender asks “Don’t you mean a martini?”

In response the Roman says “If I wanted a double I’d have asked for it!”
