There is a term out there that has started a trend… according to Dictionary.com:
LEXOPHILE:
... a lover of words
... one who derives pleasure from various use of words
... one who appreciates the nuances surrounding different words
... one who is alert to synonyms, antonyms, homophones, and homonyms, often using them for effect, sometimes in humor.
To be a bit clearer, "Lexophile" is a word used to describe those that have a love for words, such as "you can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish", or "to write with a broken pencil is pointless." A competition to see who can come up with the best lexophiles is held every year in an undisclosed location.
Some of the better entries:
.. When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.
.. A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
.. When the smog lifts in Los Angeles U.C.L.A.
.. The batteries were given out free of charge.
.. A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.
.. A will is a dead giveaway.
.. With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

.. He had a photographic memory which was never developed.
.. When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye.
.. Acupuncture is a jab well done. That's the point of it.
And the cream of the twisted crop:
