      The other day I realised I should have used a disclaimer on a comment.

      It is a comment that is supposed to be light hearted and fun so I started to amuse myself in a way that I haven't done in quite some time.

      I've "always" enjoyed breaking down words (preferably in the "wrong" place), finding synonyms or sound-a-likes or second meanings and their synonyms or sound-a-likes or second meanings, etc, etc...

      So I would like to invite you to build on my example below, bring your own examples or tell us about ways that you play with words.

      Example:

      American pancake **disclaimer** -> disc + *lamer" -> pancake + *un-cool" -> pancake + *hot* -> pancake + *rising* = American pancake

      I was reading this post about the Tildes hierarchical tag system and it got me thinking about possible tags with double meanings.

      For example, the gooning tag could be interpreted in a sexual way, or interpreted as the act of being a goon/villain. To clear up the misunderstanding, you could make a gooning.baddies tag, but that also has a double meaning.

      What are some tags that could be used for serious topics that can have a less serious interpretation?
