Play on words

Play on words is when people use language with a double meaning to make jokes or create funny phrases. It's like when someone says "I told a chemistry joke, but there was no reaction" or "Why did the tomato turn red? Because it saw the salad dressing!" These jokes are funny because they use words that have more than one meaning and make a clever connection between them. It's like playing a game with words, and it can make people laugh and have fun with language.
