Jokotoba

Jokotoba is a type of wordplay that Japanese people use to be clever and creative with their language. It's kind of like a puzzle where you have to figure out what the speaker means by using their words in a different way than usual.

For example, let's say someone says "I'm going to pole dance" but they're not actually going to a dance studio to dance around a pole. Instead, they might be going fishing because "pole" can also mean a fishing rod. This is an example of jokotoba.

Another example could be changing the word order of a sentence to make a joke or give a twist to the meaning. For instance, instead of saying "I am going to buy some milk and bread", one could say "Milk and bread will I buy" to sound like Yoda from Star Wars.

Jokotoba is a fun way to be playful with words and it's common in Japanese culture for people to use it in everyday conversation.
