A homophonic pun is a type of wordplay that exploits words that sound similar but have different meanings. For example, the phrase "I was reading a book on anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down!" is a homophonic pun because "put down" can refer to both physically setting down a book and the phrase meaning to criticize something.
If you provide me with specific options, I'd be happy to help identify which one describes a homophonic pun!
