limerick

👉 Limericks, a phrase that originated from ancient England and Ireland, are rhyming couplets with a common twist—each limerick ends with the use of profanity. For instance:

"The Little Rascals' Limerick:" "Two men, one left, one right, Both want to play golf but can't, So they played at home with their dogs, Their game was won by a dog! Now, what is this?" The punchline is an "eew," the English term for "woof," which is a common synonym for profanity in UK slang. Example: "I had three friends who lived five miles away and it wasn’t that far to play football, One of them was a soccer star. So they decided to have a match, The game was won by a football coach!" This limerick uses the pun on the word "match" in soccer, a sport where profanity is commonly used for competitive purposes.
