Mots d'Heures

Mots d'heures is a type of silly language game that involves changing the sounds of words to make them sound like they are telling time. It's like a puzzle where you have to figure out how to say a word in a funny way using numbers.

Imagine you have the word "cat." To turn it into a mot d'heure, you would take the "c" sound and say it like the number "3". Then you would take the "a" sound and say it like the number "1". Finally, you would take the "t" sound and say it like the number "2". So the word "cat" becomes "3-1-2."

People play this game for fun and to entertain others. Sometimes they make up silly phrases or songs using mots d'heures, and other people have to guess what the words are supposed to be. It's a fun way to challenge your brain and have a good laugh with friends!
