'A play on words' -> dùng từ như một trò chơi, sử dụng từ ngữ sáng tạo.
Ví dụ
My Twitter handle says: ‘I am Welsh before I am anything else.’ It’s a play on words. Coming out I hoped to remove all the labels (nhãn mác) and tags (gắn kèm) that followed my name. In fact it added many, many more. I’m cool with that.
The bottle’s label (tên nhãn) featured a play on words using “baijiu,” China’s signature(kí hiệu) grain alcohol (cồn uống được hay ethanol) and the Chinese words for 89, or “bajiu.” A court convicted four people involved in designing the bottle in April.
Launched (phát động) by actress and freelance writer (tác giả tự do) Yumi Ishikawa, the campaign (chiến dịch) has been dubbed (gắn cho cái tên) #KuToo, a play on words from the Japanese word "kutsu" - meaning shoes - and "kutsuu" - meaning "pain", and a reference to the global #MeToo movement (phong trào) against sexual abuse (lạm dụng tình dục).
