Time for more instances of the homophone:
a word pronounced the same as another but differing in
meaning, whether spelled the same way or not, as heir and air.
1. knot (noun): an
interlacement of the parts of one or more flexible bodies forming a limb or
knob; the lump or knob so formed; something hard to solve (a problem); a bond
of union; a cluster of persons or things; etc.; (verb): to tie a section of
rope, string, etc.; to make the score of a game tied or equal; etc.
2. not (adv.): used to form
the negative of modal verbs and other parts of speech; used humorously at the end of a positive
statement to show that you really meant the opposite
“I do not like you”—so she
said
And flipped her hair upon her head.
And so I promptly made her dead …
Not.
I tied a knot with that thick
rope—
And found a guy—he had no hope!
I hanged the guy, that stupid dope …
Not.
BOSS: “It is a problem—such a knot—
That all of us, I fear, have got.”
So stupid! So I aimed and
shot …
Not.
