You might also think in terms of the dialect of professions, say musicians, or some other group that has a hidden language. Rob,

I have been thinking of regional dialect, something from my Texas family, who use words in ways I don’t…

You might also think in terms of the dialect of professions, say musicians, or some other group that has a hidden language.

However, I'll see if something comes forward for me. The contributions should be fun to read, but the prompt isn’t resonating for me at this point.

So I asked him, "Why are the Three Wise Men wearing fireman helmets?" He replies, "The preacher tells us in church they came from afar to visit baby Jesus."</em> (Notes: Last Tuesday, January 6, was <a href="http://www.inside-mexico.com/featurereyes.htm" rel="nofollow">El Dia De Reyes</a>. And people today say "firefighter", not "fireman".) Combining dialect and pun might be difficult for non-native speakers:
