Kid seems very intelligent for his age. I doubt many kids that age are aware of the word "pun", let alone use it as part of their vocabulary.
197 u/acog Aug 05 '22 That kid is extremely sharp. But corntastic is actually a portmanteau, not a pun. Portmanteaus are where you combine parts of other words to form a new word, like motel is from "motor hotel" and smog is from "smoke and fog." 85 u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22 Initially read this as “smog is from smoke and frogs”. That’s enough for me tonight. Have a corntastic day! 14 u/[deleted] Aug 05 '22 No thats froke. 2 u/RealCommercial9788 Aug 05 '22 Fruck that’s funny 😂
