Summary "Dictionnaire des calembours et des jeux de mots, lazzis, coqs-à-l'âne, quolibets, quiproquos, amphibourris, etc." is a whimsical collection of jokes and wordplay likely compiled in the mid-19th century. The book is filled with clever puns, humorous anecdotes, and playful linguistic riddles that showcase the art of wit and humor in language. It offers a delightful exploration of the French language, inviting readers to indulge in the joy of word games and the intricacies of meanings. The opening of the book introduces readers to various forms of wordplay, including riddles and clever quips involving double meanings and linguistic twists. For example, it begins with riddles that challenge the reader to think creatively about language, such as identifying the letter "A" as a captain of soldiers. Through engaging anecdotes and humorous remarks about societal figures and norms, the authors illustrate the sophistication and charm inherent in calembours. The tone is light-hearted and entertaining, appealing to those who appreciate clever language play and cultural commentary through humor. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
