# Pun

A **pun** is a joke which is a "play on words." People make puns in order to make other people laugh. Many jokes are actually puns.

An example of a pun in an internet meme. "Micro-" means "small."
A pun usually uses a word which can have more than one meaning, even if the spelling is different:

Sometimes a pun may use a whole phrase that can be heard in more than one way, as in the following knock-knock joke:

* “Knock Knock!”
* “Who’s There?”
* “Dishwasher.”
* “Dishwasher who?”
* “Dishwasher way I ushed to shpeak before I got my falsh teesh”.

(The last sentence is supposed to mean: “This was the way I used to speak before I got my false teeth”).

There is a joke about a man who sent ten different puns to friends in the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

(The joke here is on “no pun intended,” which is said when a person unintentionally says a pun by coincidence, and announces the find ).

There are many websites and books which have jokes, very often with puns.

Puns are easier to make in some languages than others. Languages with many homophones (words which sound the same but have a different meaning) such as the Chinese language are most suitable for puns.

Puns do not have to be about homonyms. They can sometimes be a double entendre using both a literal sense of the word and a metaphor (figurative use). For example, if a young man joins the Navy and someone says that he "sailed through his exams", this is a joke because: 1) the expression "to sail through something" means "to do it easily", but 2) the Navy is about sailing in ships. It is possible to say something like that without realizing that it is a pun.

Another example is a story about two boys growing up and eating more and more food. One of the parents just began a new job and the other says, "I hope you can start bringing home the bacon!" In this example, bacon is a play on words meaning both money and the food, bacon.

Many British people love making puns, especially bad puns (where a word has to be mispronounced to make the joke work). Lewis Carroll made many puns in his books *Alice in Wonderland* and *Alice through the Looking Glass*.

These are also a few examples of different puns:

Really *cool* songs were heard as the rock band played on the iceberg,

"You're fired!" said the boss to the man shot from a gun.

"How is your vineyard doing?" a neighbour asked. The woman replied, "It's growing grape!" (play on words: "It's going great!")

Helium, Neon and Argon float into a bar.
The bartender says:
"Sorry, but we don't serve your kind."
They don't react.

(Helium, Neon and Argon are noble gases and they don't perform chemical reactions easily. This is why argon is used in lightbulbs.)
# Social network service

A **social network** is a website or service where people talk to or connect with other people. A Social Network Service can connect people with the same interests (like football, schools, dogs) and friends.

Social Networking was first proposed in the early development of the World Wide Web.

The most popular websites like Facebook and Twitter are helping to speed up the process of communication. Phone and mail services are slowly becoming less popular thanks to a quick and easy way of sharing messages through such networks.

A social network is used for people to get to know each other more and create new friends/connections.

Many social networks are available on phones and smartphones.

A 2011 survey found that 47% of American adults use a social networking service. Hispanics and African Americans are more likely to use social media.

Nigerians are more likely to spend more time on social media.

African Americans often use social media more than any other ethnicity or racial group.

# Dreamcatcher (group)

**Dreamcatcher** (Korean: 드림캐쳐, romanized: *deurimkaechyeo*; also written as **Dream Catcher**) is a South Korean girl group formed by Dreamcatcher Company. The group has seven members: JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Handong, Yoohyeon, Dami, and Gahyun (who was earlier called Gahyeon). They officially debuted on January 13, 2017, with their single album *Nightmare*.

Before becoming Dreamcatcher, the group was called **MINX** and had five members: JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Yoohyeon, and Dami. In November 2016, they announced they would re-debut in 2017 with a new name, Dreamcatcher, and two new members, Handong and Gahyun. They also changed their style to a darker concept and a unique music style, different from most K-pop girl groups.

Dreamcatcher is often called "The Face of Rock in K-pop" because their music mixes rock and metal sounds. They are more popular internationally than in South Korea and are known for touring often in other countries.
# Equity (finance)

In finance, **equity** is an ownership of property that may be affected by debts or future events tied to the property, which are called liabilities. It is measured by subtracting liabilities from the value of the assets owned. For example, if someone owns a car worth $24,000 and owes $10,000 on the loan used to buy the car, the difference of $14,000 is equity. Equity can apply to a single asset, such as a car or house, or to an entire business. A business that needs to start up or expand can sell its equity in order to raise cash. People who buy a house with a mortgage have equity if the value of the house is worth more than the mortgage. If the mortage is more than the property is worth they are said to have negative equity.
# Right triangle

Right triangle
A **right triangle**, (also called a right-angled triangle), has one angle that is 90 degrees. The other two angles always add up to 90 degrees but can be different sizes.
The side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse; it is the longest side in the right triangle. The other two sides are the legs or catheti (singular: cathetus) of the triangle.

Missing sides or angles of a right triangle can be found using trigonometry, the Pythagorean theorem, and many other ways.
In any triangle all the angles add up to 180 degrees.
