ORONYMS

n.

Two or more sentences that use the same sounds but have different words. Examples:

'Scuse me while I kiss the sky.

'Scuse me while I kiss this guy.

Some others I know.

Some mothers I know.

"The seamlessness of speech is also apparent in 'oronyms,' strings of sound that can be carved into words in two different ways."
