#linguistpopculture

Linguists love a good pun; words are our bread and butter, so how could we not?! #linguistmovies was started with George to entertain him on a long train journey. Before long, Allan, Becci and Becky had joined the fun, and it continues to be excellent procrastination fodder. Any suggestions? Leave them below or tweet them to @hm_leach (or anybody else involved). Come join us down here in the pits of terrible punnery!

(Apologies if I've missed any - the hashtags only let me go back so far!)

20th November: WELL. I don't know if all these entries spawned from our silly game a few weeks go, but the hashtags have EXPLODED in the past few days, and I thought I'd collate them anyway. At some point I will get round to making a list of contributors, but that may take a while and should be saved for when I desperately need to avoid an assignment.

Also, looks like good old SpecGram got their first, but glad they're playing along :)
