Introduction
Homophones are words that are pronounced in the same way as other words but have different meanings, even if they are spelt differently. For example, the words ‘flower’ and ‘flour’ sound the same but have different meanings and spelling.
Homophonic jokes play on the fact that there are words that sound the same but have different meanings. These jokes can be quite funny, especially if you use them in puns or plays on words.
Here are some examples of homophonic jokes:
Q:Why did the scientist install a knocker on his door?

Q:Why did the boy tiptoe past the medicine cabinet?

The difference between homophones and homonyms
Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings. Homonyms are words that sound the same and have the same meaning. For example, bark (the sound a dog makes) and bark (the protective layer of a tree) are homonyms. But Chen and Ken, heel and heel, or flew and flu are homophones – even though flu is sometimes spelled with a “y”.
Here are some more examples of homonyms:
– brake/break: When you press the brake, you stop your car. If you drop an egg, it will break.
– saw/seen: I sawed the board in half. Have you seen my glasses?
-flower/flour: The flower is very pretty. Flour is used to make bread.
– pair/pear: I need a pair of socks. A pear is a type of fruit.
