Can't find the other threads that do this, so here's a new one. Those in the US may recognise bits from the Washington Post. Sorry.


The idea is to take a word and give it a new meaning, like:

Coffee - the one upon whom you cough.

Or... changing one or two letters to form a new word and give it a meaning, like:

Rotivational speaker - speaker who goes round and round the houses but never actually comes to the point.

You have a go.....
