As many of you may know, Dave, Jason, and I all hold nice, useful English-disciplined degrees. As English nerds, we obviously love the language we speak and write. Today, I'm taking that a little further. I'm a lover of homophones. Yes, get your snickers out of the way now. Anyway, homophones are words that sound like other words, but have different meanings. I'm taking that a step further. I'm taking the syllables of some of your favorite phrases or proper nouns and using homophones in their place. This creates a homophonic phrase akin to "I'll pack a" and the word "alpaca."
Here's an example: Atlanta Falcons = At | Lan | ta | Fal | cons. The "I"s represent the syllable breaks. Here's the homophonic phrase: At Lambda Valve Cans. Say it fast and you get a phonetic match for Atlanta Falcons. Sure, the homophonic phrase doesn't make any sense (unless you're a Half Life fan) but it sure does sound like Atlanta Falcons. Got it? Good. Decipher these and win a BRAND NEW CAR an English major's respect.
