| Pr13 Phrasiology (1)- Little Johnnie (crying): Mummy, mummy, my auntie Jane is dead. Puns are frequently based on the ambiguousness of idioms: - - Isn’t our Kate a marvel! I wish you could have seen her at the Harrisons’ party yesterday. If I’d collected the bricks she dropped all over the place, I could built a villa’.
- To drop a brick means ‘to say unintentionally a quite indiscreet or tactless thing that shocks and offended people’.
