Entertainment puns
I have two favorite titles that are extremely clever puns.
βShawn the Sheepβ
βDexterβ
βShawn the Sheepβ is a sly play on the dialect of the characters in the animation. βShawnβ and βshornβ have the same pronunciation in the dialect of the outskirts of Bristol, UK.
βDexterβ is a wonderful Latin pun. βDexterβ is the word for βrightβ and βSinisterβ is the implied compliment, the word for βleftβ 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.

In a WhatsApp conversation with my family earlier on today, my phone kept adding a 'b' to the word 'plum' as I was discussing plum trees with them. I apologised for the misspelling, before adding...
...That's the problem with my predictive keyboard: it's too easily lead!
A pun that will appeal to chemists and scholars of Latin. A bit niche?

TIL Older forms of English kept Latinβs gender-specific suffixes -tor and -trix; tor is for men and trix is for women. So a male pilot is an aviator, a female pilot is an aviatrix. A male fighter is a gladiator, a female fighter is a gladiatrix.
This contrasts with the modern system, where tor is for both men and women, and trix are for kids.
