Good collection, riverwalker!

Kinda sums it all up in a single one-liner:
#RomneyHood patriotism means dodging the draft, outsourcing U.S. jobs, banking in foreign countries, evading taxes, punishing the poor.

10. In Romneyhood the little people don't deserve healthcare.

I don't twitter, so will someone who does please take over this one.

[tblue37]

14. Romney Hood is a pun on Robin Hood--a man's name, not a place where things happen. nt

[demwing]

21. Are you sure?

http://www.robinhoodloxley.net/mycustompage0045.htm

The general practise was for people to be named after their status, location, or occupation and Robin Hood may derive from 'robber in hood' or 'robber in wood’ giving both his occupation and location thereby conforming to established naming practise. A second explanation is that the suffix -hood signifies a group of people sharing the same lifestyle as in priesthood and knighthood and ‘robinhood’ may simply have been a way of life for many people.

Like knighthood, or priesthood...yeah, but in reverse!

24. We need to think of a play on the words

12. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[tblue37]

13. The ones that begin with "where" are incorrectly treating the word as a

place rather than as a pun on the name Robin Hood.

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. Poetic licence perhaps?

(I think they get it)

[xtraxritical]

23. Now I get it. Thanks tblue.

[aquart]

29. No, they are leaping to the American term "hood" for neighborhood.

It isn't "incorrect." It IS.

[tblue37]

32. Yes—I realize that they are using the “hood” as in “neighborhood,”

but by doing so, they lose the essential meaning of the pun, because it was the legendary man named Robin Hood who supposedly stole from the rich and gave to the poor.

If we connect the term “Romneyhood” primarily with “neighborhood,” then the idea of stealing from the poor to give to the rich, as a reversal of Robin Hood’s program, gets lost.

[aquart]

33. Nope. Puns are endlessly expandable.

Shakespeare, James Joyce, the ancient Sumerians...you wouldn't believe how far they went. Or how long some of those puns have lasted. Even without the original language.

You can't truncate an association once made, you can only add it in.

Robin Hood the goodly brigand has morphed into the community in which he practices his deeds. He is now also Sherwood Forest ...at least in the Romney Hood reverse world. The Romney Hood is no place for us to live. It's just for rich guys.

[aquart]

34. And they are ALSO using "hood" as in "criminal". PUNS ARE NOT LINEAR.

The meaning was accepted and EXPANDED because the word "hood" has that potential. Shakespeare punned like this all the time.
