Linguistic term needed

[Michael Mccafferty]

Thanks, Pam, for the spelling update. I also searched online--at
"paranomasia" and found a bunch of sites. But your spelling, with that
nice -onom- makes the term look more like something used in linguistics
than something used in Freud's clinic.

"Those are my principles.
If you don't like them,
I have others."

-Groucho Marx


"When I was born I was
so surprised that I didn't
talk for a year and a half."

-Gracie Allen
