Take a word, any word, and give it an updated meaning.
For example:
Icicle = Small bike made by Apple.
Bouffant = To scare a type face.
Dinosaur = Stomach pains after overeating.
Toyota = Not a real ota.
-
Don_1 = Famous spanish lover (or knowing your proclivity for puns was that the idea all along?)
-
Don, you've been listening to "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue". The icicle definition was on last week's episode. I think Bouffant was too but I can't remember exactly.
Anyway, a good idea. We could sell scripts to the BBC.

I'd be careful about casting too many nasturtiums if I were you I'm a Tfal. Could be considered a case of the the
black anodised pot (http://www.t-falusa.com/All+Products/Cookware/Nonstick+Cookware/Products/FLEXI-GRIP+HARD+ANODIZED/FLEXI-GRIP+HARD+ANODIZED.htm) calling the kettle....
I'm a little T-Fal, short and stout.
Here's my handle. Here's my spout.
When the kettle's boiling here me shout,
"Tip me up, and pour me out!"
Is it true that, during the winter, nasturtiums are in a state of nasturnation?

Don, you should take up mind reading. When I first read this thread, I thought I would throw in a few suggestions but then had to work instead :-( However, I actually thought of "window" with exactly the same description as you gave. Amazing!
