just commenting to say that if a future Title Fairy thread is named Outback Steakhouse the opening post should just say "no rules, just right"

I'll PM Chevre some examples when a game I'm in is over but it fits so perfectly.

I still support this. I also have mounting data to support this that I could dredge up if required.

The rap pun for the guy who raps isn't fitting. Got it.

doesn't seem like you do...

Like, the value in a pun title is in the way it efficiently conveys multiple meanings. What makes or breaks a pun title is the aptness of the meanings it ties together and how naturally it does that. Expert Marxman, Shipwright, Nekonfidante — they aren't decent titles just because they're puns, but because they efficiently riff on different aspects of the user. "That's a Rap" conveys multiple meanings, too, but one is just openly extraneous. A later reader will wonder why it was conveyed in the first place. You can ignore the way the phrase suggests more than just that KTS raps, but a typical reader won't.

This site here has a list of idioms involving the word "wrap"; maybe another one actually captures something about KTS, allowing the pun to have the broad referentiality that motivates doing pun titles in the first place. For example, if KTS has a secretive streak you can use "Under Raps". In that case, the pun would actually something instead of being low-key confusing.

This actually gives me an idea for a pun-based title generator!

It could take a list of or a single "reference" to be made about a user (like, for example, "Rap"), seek out a list of synonyms for the word, and then for each synonym (as well as the original word itself), produce a list of homophones of said synonyms. From there, one can generate a list of idioms that use each homophone — this should be readily convertible into an exhaustive list of idiomatic puns on the original reference!

I thought the joke was that he wraps everything up with a rap after it happened.

Then everyone can have a puntle
