OMG..my oldest grandaughter is so good at this! She posts on Instagram and always has the best play on words. When she was traveling on Semester at Sea she always had the best play on words no matter what she was doing or what country she was in!! She's a marketing major and will go far!

It sounds like a bad thing but I am a self-confessed Lexophile.  I love words, word games, word puzzles, etc.

Someone afraid of people named Lex?  I think Superman might have this with Lex Luthor!

 

Probably someone afraid of books or the dictionary though.

Those who play with words my head gets dizzy.

One unique religious leader tries to play with words that most people do not know. So what is the bottom line?  Religious cult?
