👉 Sure, I'll give a fun explanation and an unsettling example.
Let's start with the English phrase "dog insurance" that sounds like a perfectly fine pun. It's actually a slang term used to mean financial protection for animals who are owned by humans. For instance, imagine having a dog who needs a new collar every year, or your cat gets sick and you're forced into buying a pet insurance plan. You might say: "Hey kitty, I think we should buy a new cat insurance policy to cover all the time that she's not happy." Now let me give you an unsettling example sentence using this slang term: "Your dog is in serious need of dental cleanings and his insurance company is refusing to cover it. So, if you're wondering how much your dog insurance costs, ask their reps about their deductibles." This kind of scenario would be hilarious for anyone who has ever had a pet or been on the receiving end of an expensive dental bill.
