Having had a similar question go over like a lead balloon, I thought I’d explain this type of post which is so popular with many Brits.

You ask a question which is clearly not serious, but hangs together as language – using as many puns, synonyms and homonyms as you can. The Answer should be closely related to the topic of the original question, and should also contain as many puns, homonyms and synonyms as possible. In this example, “grave”, “mask” and “ghoul” are the markers, and Guinness’s Answer is right on the button.

As an additional example, my own post was: “If someone wearing a sandwich board is called a ham and made to feel cheesy, does he have a legitimate beef?”

If this isn’t wordPLAY, I don’t know what is.

Then I must suggest

I’m grimly alarmed

by your ghastly inquest.

C’mon Chucky Cheese,

Even Meunsters like you will have to confess:

Halloween is a preteen scene straight from codeine!

Being candyd (don’t take this for granted),

It’s putrid and rancid – just scanty enchanted.

Great unholy Sea Monkeys!

I feel I’ll squeal or reveal my meal if I even survive my dreadful spiel.

Lamentably, therefore, this Cheddar must peel.

It seems more like Mardi Gras, where people enjoy dressing up in a fantasy costume and partying.

mummies and daddies stalk up on candy, witch is why I like it. Kids are goblin it up for days after. I ghost trick or treatin too, don’t find it demoning at all. Nosferatu?
