Time puns are play on words that often used to form jokes that center around time. These puns are created by using vocabulary relating to watches, calendars and measurement of time.
These time-related puns involve various elements, such as hours, minutes, seconds and the temporal broad perspective like eras, epochs and seasons. Time puns are an obvious choice, since time is the only constant in our life, from the second we are born till our last breath.
What are Time Puns?
Time puns tactfully mould the language of time and chronology to administer humor into routine situations. These puns should be related to “clock brands”, “time-related idioms”, or “watches, hourglasses etc.”. A great precursor to break the ice, add humor to speeches or make social media posts brighter, time puns come to mind as time is something personified by everyone, everywhere.
