Those who love word games might enjoy this tribe.

It is the Lingo Factory and we simply manufacture words.

There is no scientific validity or profound importance to the work. However as someone that has traveled and taught ESL abroad I have noticed that we often intentionally use the kinds of mistaken associations, false cognates and other common linguistic faux pas' to form the basis of many of our puns.

My sincere suggestion is take a look, have a laugh and familiarize yourself with how twisted language can get.
