* Becoming a common joke format on Website/{{Tumblr}}, with setups along the vein of "It smells like updog/suphomie/(other casual greeting) in here".

** In the Key of Awesome's Dark Horse parody JuicyJ tries to teach Katy Perry how metaphors work but he fails and she gets angry and zaps and tells the others "The rest of you can get the F out, I don't care what a Meta is for"[[note]]The F here being a letter F they were holding because she flunked at metaphors.[[/note]].

Some of the most common henway terms are "<noun>way," [[note]]"<noun> weigh", answered with a weight, [[DontExplainTheJoke as is the case]] for the {{Trope Namer|s}}[[/note]] "<noun>fore," [[note]]"<noun> for?" answered with a purpose[[/note]] "<noun>do," [[note]]answered with what the thing does[[/note]] "Grecian urn" [[note]]"Grecian earn" -- answer "<X> drachmas a day"[[/note]] and "yoors" or "yaws." [[note]]"yours"; most often found in scenes taking place in bars -- the question "What's yours?" is a standard way of offering to buy the other person's next drink"[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' had a version of this, though it wasn't actually a trap:

* Popular Internet joke, usually involving Creator/ChristianBale's Franchise/{{Batman}} and Creator/HeathLedger's Joker:

* A common U.S. Army prank involves calling a novice recruit and tell him to find a first class sergeant and ask him if he has a "pricky-7"... the first class sergeant's rank code is "E-7", and "pricky-7" sounds like "prick E-7". HilarityEnsues. The setup often works because it exploits the existing naming convention for Army implements. Portable combat radios have designator names starting with "PRC"-such as the PRC-25 and PRC-77 'Nam era backpack rigs, up to the modern PRC-152. Thus, so easy to tell the rookie that you need a portable radio, type 7, modification E. Got that? PRC-E7. Go to the sarge and say you're looking for the PRC-E7.

** A variation also occurs in a bonus for the series, where the group jokes about names made up of euphemisms for male genitalia. Gary brings up the name "Willy" and without missing a beat Tom asks "Well, will he?" Gary admits he doesn't know if he will.

* Urbate the boat. Urbating is the old practice of massaging the larger woodwork/ironwork of the boat (preferably with some water or special salves), to release built-up stress. Therefore, it is important urbate the various parts. In particular the [[ADateWithRosiePalms mast should be urbated]] regularly.

'''Person B''': [[ADateWithRosiePalms ...eyemaster bait?]]

* The ''Film/CarryOn'' films use this type of joke a lo:.

* The ''Film/CarryOn'' films use this type of joke a lot.

*** The same sort of joke happens in ''Film/CarryOnDick'':
---->'''Jock Strapp:''' ''[checking off his weaponry]'' Pistol...
---->'''Desmond Fancey:''' Nonsense! I haven't touched a drop.

--->'''W.C. Boggs:''' A fortune teller? Fakes, that's all they are, sitting there staring... in their crystal... what's-its-name.
--->'''Sid Plummer:''' ''[helping him]'' Balls. [[note]] Also [[DontExplainTheJoke British slang for "nonsense"]][[/note]]
--->'''W.C. Boggs:''' I quite agree!

--->'''Witness:''' Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.\\

** Jim introduces Mike to this concept with the following joke. However, whenever Mike tries this on somebody else, they fail to respond properly. Eventually Dwight answers right, but Mike botches the joke anyway.

** And then Michael's attempt after trying on 7 other people...

* In the Michael Lewis {{nonfiction}} book ''The Big Short'', he describes a hedge fund manager named Mike Burry who wrote a proposal for a new fund, "Milton's Opus", dedicated to making a specific kind of trade Burry had developed an interest in. The book continues with a parenthetical:

-->'''Fozzie:''' I didn't know you were a talking snowman.\\

'''Snowman:''' Nothing. What's a snoo with you?\\

** [[DontExplainTheJoke For those who don't get it]], "[[IncrediblyLamePun Sirius]]" is the name of another character.

* Subverted in ''Series/RedDwarf''. When Lister is told of an item called a wormdo, instead of asking "What's a wormdo?" ("Wriggles along the ground, of course!"), he derails the joke by asking, "What's that then?" And it just goes straight downhill from there.
--> '''Rimmer:''' Would you like a wormdo?
--> '''Lister:''' What's that, then?
--> '''Rimmer:''' What's ''what''?
--> '''Lister:''' A wormdo?
--> '''Rimmer:''' What ''about'' it?
--> '''Lister:''' Look, is this still the opening line?
* One segment of ''Series/TheDailyShow'' showed a senator made an addition to a bill, then another added a "but-for" clause that said the other one couldn't add his. Jon Stewart then said he responded by asking for a ban on all "dickfores".
** A similar joke was found in an outtake for Australian children's show "Agro's Cartoon Connection":

* This exchange occurs between Oliver and Lisa in "The Vulgar Ring" episode of ''Series/GreenAcres'':
-->'''Lisa''': Did you find it?\\
'''Oliver''': No, I haven't got the trap off.\\
'''Lisa''': What's a "trapoff"?\\
'''Oliver''': Not a "trapoff", it's just a trap that's part of the drain. Hand me the wrench.\\
...
-->'''Oliver''': You use a screwdriver to screw screws, you need a wrench to take the bolts off.\\
'''Lisa''': What's a "boltsoff"?... [later] Why are you yelling at me? All I did was ask you what's a "boltsoff".\\
...
-->'''Oliver''': Lisa, will you find something to do, and let me get this drain off?\\
'''Lisa''': What's a "drainoff"?\\
'''Oliver''': It's part of the sink that's attached to the "trapoff"!\\
...\\
'''Oliver''': Shut the water off!\\
'''Lisa''': Which one's the "wateroff"?
* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'':
** Subverted nicely with this exchange:
--->'''JD:''' Now I don't want you to worry, because your procedure is being performed by Dr. ''Dahman''.\\
'''Patient:''' Who's Dr. Dahman?\\
'''JD:''' No, no...say that again, but without the doctor.\\
'''Patient:''' Who's Mr. Dahman?\\
'''JD:''' No no, just say the last name.\\
'''Patient''': Who's Dahman?\\
'''JD:''' I'M DAH MAN! That was fun...it was fun, uh, doing that with you.
** In another episode, a variant occurs.
--->'''Doug:''' Stringent what?\\
'''JD:''' Stringent "updoc". (quickly turns to Turk) It's happening.\\
'''Doug:''' What's updoc?
** And in another episode where the janitor accuses J.D. of stealing toilet paper:
--->'''JD:''' I don't use toilet paper. I have one of those French things that shoot water up your butt.
--->'''Janitor:''' A bidet?
--->'''JD:''' Bidet to you, sir.
* ''Series/TheOfficeUS''
** Jim introduces Mike to this concept with the following joke. However, whenever Mike tries this on somebody else, they fail to respond properly. Eventually Dwight answers right, but Mike botches the joke anyway.
--->'''Jim:''' This place smells like updog.\\
'''Mike:''' What's updog?\\
'''Jim:''' Not much, what's up with you?
** And then Michael's attempt after trying on 7 other people...
--->'''Michael:''' This place smells like updog.\\
'''Dwight:''' What's updog?\\
'''Michael:''' Ha! Ha haha! Um... how are you?\\
'''Dwight:''' I'm fine, how are you?\\
'''Michael:''' Fine...

* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' has a numbers of these:
** Running gag in the [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S02E11FirstSpaceshipOnVenus episode]] ''Film/FirstSpaceshipOnVenus'', featuring the character Dr. Herringway, commander of the eponymous expedition.
--->'''Crow:''' Hey, Joel, what's a Herringway?\\
'''Joel:''' About a pound...
** From the "Cave Dwellers" episode, when the film's star appears in the credits:
---> '''Joel:''' How much Keefe is in this movie anyway?\\
'''Servo:''' Miles O' Keefe!
** An in-film example from ''Film/WomenOfThePrehistoricPlanet''; a ShaggyDogStory told by the [[PluckyComicRelief Odious Comic Relief]] about his adventures in the service, which ''eventually'' meanders to this: "...[[AHandfulForAnEye So I threw a handful of yurze in the thing's eye]] and killed it..." "What's 'yurze[[note]](pronounced "yours")[[/note]]'?" "Well, I'd like a three-day pass, sir..."
** "Can't we just get ''beyond'' Thunderdome?"
** Then in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E04Werewolf Werewolf]]'':
--->(''Title "WEREWOLF" appears on the screen'')\\
'''Servo:''' I dunno, you had him last!\\
\\
'''Paul:''' I’m a writer.\\
'''Natalie:''' Really? What’s the subject matter?\\
'''Tom Servo:''' You’re right, subject doesn’t matter at all.
** Earlier, in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E09IWasATeenageWerewolf I Was A Teenage Werewolf]]'':
--->'''Police Coroner:''' ...Fangs.\\
'''Police Detective:''' Fangs?!?\\
'''Servo:''' You're welcome! (Laughs hysterically)\\
(later in the same scene:)\\
'''Coroner:''' [...]But I still say, fangs!\\
'''Mike:''' And ''I'' still say, "you're welcome!" (chuckles sensibly)
** On more than one occasion, if someone on the screen asks someone else "Are you alright?" or "How are you doing?" one of the bots will answer, "I make a nice living, you?"
* One of these turns up in an episode of ''Series/KolchakTheNightStalker''. It concerns a wild animal called a Pycost. [[spoiler:89 cents.]]
* You can pretty much make a drinking game out of this trope watching ''Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn'' and ''Series/HeeHaw'' (same thing, different demographic; that's actually the only enjoyable way to watch these shows, as even the actors would admit.)

* UK Comedy ''The Fast Show'' had character Arthur Atkinson do a whole sequence of these in the mock ''Hee Haw'' sketches parodying old music-hall comedies. The gags always involved corny sound effects like a slidewhistle, pie-in-face gags, or corny wordplay, such as:
-->'''Announcer:''' "This first story involves Arthur Atkinson, and he's not feeling himself."\\
'''Arthur:''' "And I'm not feeling anyone else neither, before you ask."\\
''[cut to shot of audience cracking up]''
* One in Spanish: The Mexican comedian Chespirito had a character, the old and crotchety ''Doctor Chapatín''. The doctor always carried a paper bag which would never play any part whatsoever in the plot, except to punch whoever dared to say that he was old (this happened OncePerEpisode). But once, his nurse and one patient asked him directly about the paper bag and he finally answered: ''"Tengo queles" "¿Queles?" "Qué les importa"'' (that could be roughly translated as ''"It's nunya." "Nunya?" "Nunya business"'').
* In the ''Series/{{MASH}}'' episode "Where There's a Will, There's a War", Hawkeye fondly recalls (via flashback) a time when the usually-humorless Margaret Houlihan started rattling off a whole bunch of these with him while taking inventory in the supply hut:
-->'''Hawkeye:''' Sulfa...where's the sulfa?\\
'''Margaret:''' The sulfa's in the living room.\\
'''Hawkeye:''' What?\\
'''Margaret:''' The sulfa's in the living room. Between the end tables.\\
'''Hawkeye:''' ''(astonished)'' Margaret, you told a joke!\\
'''Margaret:''' I'm tired.\\
'''Hawkeye:''' "The sulfa's in the living room." ''(starts laughing)'' I can't believe you said that!\\
'''Margaret:''' ''(laughing now, too)'' I told you I was tired!\\
'''Hawkeye:''' No, I love it! Somebody's finally been messing with your funny bone! Okay, sulfa...we got plenty.\\
'''Margaret:''' Sulfa so good. ''(starts laughing again)'' Morphine.\\
'''Hawkeye:''' No, thanks, I got plenty. ''(They both crack up, then start to compose themselves.)'' Digitalis?\\
'''Margaret:''' No, I'm keeping it a secret. ''(They both lose it for good.)''
** In "Are You Now, Margaret?," a visiting congressional aide is investigating Margaret for being a communist sympathizer. He visits her in her tent and attempts to seduce her when Klinger emerges from Margaret's locker and takes a snapshot of the act. Hawkeye, B.J. and Charles arrive to push the dagger in deeper:
-->'''Williamson:''' (''pointing to Klinger'') Wha-what's he doing with that camera?\\
'''Charles:''' He appears to be rewinding.

* In the Season 3 ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "Gingerbread", Buffy laments that she doesn't think anything she does makes a lasting difference, but at least she finally understands something that's baffled her for years.
-->'''Buffy:''' I'm like the boy in that story, the one who stuck his finger in the duck.\\
'''Angel:''' Dike.\\
'''Buffy:''' ''(confused look)''\\
'''Angel:''' ''(chuckles)'' It's another word for dam.\\
'''Buffy:''' Oh. Okay, that story makes a lot more sense now.
** If only Willow was there to hear about sticking fingers in dykes - uh, dikes.
* ''Series/{{Skins}}'' did one of these in the S3 opener.
-->'''Effy:''' It's inexplicable, Pandora.\\
'''[[TheDitz Pandora:]]''' Yeah, inexplicable. ''*beat* '' What does inexplicable mean, Eff?\\
'''Effy:''' Can't explain.\\
'''Pandora:''' ''[=[dismayed]=]'' Alright, suit yourself then.
* ''Series/{{Taxi}}'':
** Jim Ignatowski was taking his driving test, leading to this classic gag:
--->'''Jim''': What does a yellow light mean?\\
'''Bobby''': Slow down.\\
'''Jim''': Okay. What...does...a...yellow...light...mean?\\
'''Bobby''': Slow down.\\
'''Jim''': Okay. OK. Wwwwhhhaaaat dooeesss aaaa yyyeeeellllowwww lllliiiight mmmmeeeannn?
** In another episode, Latka Gravas leads Louie dePalma -- possibly unintentionally -- right into one of these:
--->'''Louie:''' What's this?\\
'''Latka:''' It's a kebble.\\
'''Louie:''' What's a kebble?\\
'''Latka:''' 110 kebble make a lithnitch.\\
'''Louie:''' What's a lithnich?\\
'''Latka:''' 270 lithnich make a matta.\\
'''Louie:''' What's a matta?\\
'''Latka:''' I don't know, what's a matta with you?
* On ''Series/ThatsMyBush'', Larry, UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush's wacky neighbor, would use one of these almost OncePerEpisode.
** In one episode, someone else gives the punchline instead (responding to "Stardoo" with "It twinkles!"), [[BerserkButton making him very, very angry.]]
** Larry also did the "Hindu" punchline, though unenthusiastically, when George in fact asked him what a Hindu was.
** Subverted in one episode where spies tunneled to the White House:
-->'''Larry:''' Say, George, there's a hole dug in your front porch.
-->'''George:''' I get it, Larry. I'm supposed to say, "What's a hole dug?" Ha ha.
** On one occasion, Larry actually started to do the {{Trope Namer|s}} joke but was cut off by George, who was in the middle of some hijinks and didn't have the time for it.
** In the series finale as George is leaving the White House, Larry mentions a "queardu," and when George asks "what's a queer do?" Larry cries "This!" and tearfully hugs him.
* From an episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', when Will corrects Carlton's usage of the word "dis":
--> '''Will''': That's ''dis''.
--> '''Carlton''': I don't care if it's dis, dat or the other thing!
* Some of the puns on ''Series/ABitOfFryAndLaurie'' took this form.
-->'''John:''' You have a daughter, I believe?\\
'''Peter:''' Yeah. Yeah, Henrietta.\\
'''John:''' Did he, did he, I'm sorry to hear that.
* In one episode of ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'', Baldrick is running for office and tells his boss he thinks his first name is "Sodoff", because all the other kids used to say "Sod off, Baldrick!" Blackadder notes him down as "S. Baldrick". Later Edmund is interviewed by real life political pundit Vincent Hanna (playing "his own ancestor"):
-->'''Hanna:''' What does the S stand for?
-->'''Blackadder:''' Sodoff.
-->'''Hanna:''' ... yes, well, none of my business, really.
* ''Series/CrimeStory'' - at a block party cookout, Polish cop Krychek is quizzing black cop Clemmons on Polish food. When he gets to ''garachki'' Clemmons is stumped - turns out it's what you use to open a garage door.
* ''Series/CornerGas'': In "Crab Apple Cooler":
-->'''Lacey:''' We could play euchre.\\
'''Oscar:''' ''Euchre''? I hardly know 'er!\\
'''Lacey:''' Or Twister.\\
'''Oscar:''' ''Twister''? I just met 'er!\\
'''Lacey:''' Or maybe we could just play charades.\\
'''Oscar:''' ''Charades''? Ha ha... [[DelayedReaction I hate charades]]!\\
'''Emma:''' Charades it is.\\
'''Lacey:''' [[LampshadeHanging Good thing I didn't say "poker."]]
* From the ''Series/SaluteYourShorts'' episode "Ghost Story":
-->'''Dina:''' ...It's something 4 out of 5 doctors recommend.
-->'''Telly:''' Which doctors?
-->'''Dina:''' Exactly, witch doctors...

* Not surprisingly, ''Series/PoliceSquad'' was built on this trope. The most famous example:
-->'''Det. Frank Drebin:''' Wait a minute, let me get this straight: Twice came in and shot the teller and Jim Fell.
-->'''Sally Decker:''' No, he only shot the teller, Jim Johnson. Fell is ill.
-->'''Drebin: '''Okay, then after he shot the teller, you shot Twice.
-->'''Sally:''' No, I only shot once.
-->'''Capt. Ed Hocken: '''Twice is the hold up man.
-->'''Sally: '''Then I guess I did shoot Twice.
-->'''Drebin: '''Oh, so now you're changing your story.
-->'''Sally:''' No, I shot Twice after Jim fell.
-->'''Drebin:''' You shot twice and Jim Fell?
-->'''Sally:''' No, Jim fell first and then I shot Twice once.
-->'''Drebin:''' Well, who fired twice?
-->'''Sally:''' Once!
-->'''Capt. Hocken:''' He's the owner of the tire company, Frank.
-->'''Drebin:''' [pauses] Okay. Once is the owner of the tire company and he fired Twice. Then Twice shot the teller once.
-->'''Sally:''' Twice.
-->'''Drebin:''' ...and Jim fell and then you fired Twice.
-->'''Sally: '''Once!
-->'''Drebin: Okay. '''All right, that will be all for now, Ms. Decker.
-->'''Capt. Hocken: '''We'll need you to make a formal statement down at the station.
-->'''Sally:''' Oh, of course!
-->'''Drebin: '''You've been very helpful. We think we know how he did it.
-->'''Sally:''' Oh, Howie couldn't have done it. He hasn't been in for weeks.
-->'''Drebin:''' Well. [pauses] Thank you again, Ms. Decker.
-->'''Drebin:''' [to Capt. Hocken] Weeks?
-->'''Capt. Hocken:''' Saul Weeks. He's the comptroller, Frank.
** Later, as they're arresting Sally, Capt. Hocken addresses two cops standing nearby.
-->'''Capt. Hocken:''' Sergeants, take her away and book her.
-->'''Drebin:''' [addressing each officer as if introduced] "Sergeant Takeraway, Sergeant Booker."

* Alluded to in ''Series/DoctorWho'', "Parting of the Ways" as a bit of a StealthPun:
-->"Rose Tyler. I was gonna take you to so many places. Barcelona. Not the city Barcelona, the planet Barcelona. You'll love it, fantastic place, they've got dogs with no noses! [laughs] Imagine how many times a day you end up telling that joke, and it's still funny!"
* Used by Creator/BennyHill in a skit where a brother and sister team claim to have climbed the highest mountain ridge in the world.
-->'''Interviewer:''' Himalaya?
-->'''Sister:''' No, he tells the truth!
* In the ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'' episode "Old Flame With a New Wick", Charlie receives an email from an ex-girlfriend who wants to meet up, turns out since he last saw her she had a sex change. Charlie brings ''him'' home and Alan doesn't know the full situation at first.
-->'''Alan:''' Nice guy. Poker buddy?
-->'''Charlie:''' Used to. And don't call me buddy.
* In a 2002 episode of [[PanelGame Panel Show]] ''Series/TheyThinkItsAllOver'', Gary Lineker's team were shown footage of an Exeter City goal being celebrated by players running up to the crowd holding out an upturned cap (a reference to unpaid wages caused by financial trouble at the club). Gary's teammate, Rory [=McGrath=], observed that Exeter were nicknamed the Grecians, leading to the inevitable joke, complete with LamePunReaction from host Nick Hancock:
-->'''Rory [=McGrath=]:''' Their nickname, actually, their nickname is the Grecians.\\
'''Gary Lineker:''' Grecians.\\
'''Nick Hancock:''' ''(hammily)'' What's a Grecian urn? ''(rolls eyes)''\\
'''Rory:''' Not very much, by the looks of things.\\
'''Nick:''' Thank you very much. ''({{Facepalm}}s)'' That was always gonna come out, wasn't it.\\
'''Rory:''' It had to.
* A scene in ''Mirrorball'' has two characters watching a singer auditioning. One remarks that the song is [[Music/KurtWeill Weill]]; the other protests that it's really not that bad.
* The Flying Karamazov Brothers pull this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpUQZh9HjJA during a televised special:]]
-->'''Dmitri''': Jesus Christ...\\
'''Smerdyakov''': Hey! Watch your language!\\
'''Dmitri''': Uh, English. What's yours?
* ''Series/TheHauntingHour'' featured a pair of teenage girls that delighted in nothing more than [[TeensAreMonsters tormenting an ailing old woman with prank calls.]] During one of said calls, they ask if she knows "Amanda Hugandkiss" She responds " I don't know Amanda Hugandkiss" at which point they say something to the effect of "Duh! what kind of man would want to hug and kiss you!?"
* On ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' Ru will sometimes ask a contestant "How's your head?" expecting the response "Haven't had any complaints". One contestant, Pearl simply did not get it and would respond with a report on how her head actually felt. When she ''finally'' gave the "no complaints" answer on the main stage there was a round of applause.

* Herb Penguin does the old-fashioned one to Don in an opening to ''Series/BeakmansWorld''.

* [[WebAnimation/HoloLive Gawr Gura]]'s been caught out on a couple of these.
** She fell for the buttfor version written into VideoGame/WestOfLoathing, which her chat quickly jumped on.
** On the topic of her attending various conventions as a guest, a superchat message asked whether she was going to attend "Saw Con". She at first thought it was a convention about the carpentry tool or [[Franchise/{{Saw}} the movie franchise]], before she looked it up and found out it was a setup for "Saw Con ''deez nuts''!"
** In a collab stream, Fauna asked the others "Which would you guys rather eat, a baby goat or a matter baby?" Mumei asked "What's a-", then caught herself and said "No, I won't fall for that again." Then [[Characters/HololiveOuroKroniiCh Kronii]] walked right into it.
---> '''Kronii:''' What's a matter baby?
---> '''Fauna:''' Nothin' much, sugar, what'sa matter with you?
---> '''Kronii:''' ''deep breath''
---> '''Mumei:''' I even gave you a warning, Kronii.
---> '''Kronii:''' ''agonized groaning''

A "henway" is a type of joke where the first person in a conversation uses a term in a way that leads the other person to respond with "what's <term>?". The first person then replies with the punchline (often a pun, although it doesn't have to be.)

* In [[http://youtu.be/ocg7viO0cmw?t=4m31s this ad]], Fozzie Bear recycles bottles, cans, paper and snoo. Then he lampshades the trope at the end.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'': At one point Moana asks Maui what the tattoo on his back means. Maui, who's not in a good mood (especially since the tattoo in question represents [[spoiler: his parents [[ParentalAbandonment abandoning him to the sea as a baby]]]]), replies it represents man's discovery of "nunya".

** They returned to this in another episode with one of the classics. After Ryan got distracted trying to decipher the meaning of the acronym FUPA [[spoiler: Fat Upper Pussy Area]], Jack decided to [[{{Troll}} further confuse him]] by asking him "Do you have a buttfor?" Except Ryan doesn't fall for the trap... partly because he was savvy enough to spot a trap, and partly out of genuine confusion.

* In Houston Texas, there is a Restaurant called Kenny and Ziggy's, on their menu in the à la carte side order section is the item Duckway and for its price it says Ask Your Server! Here is a PDF Copy of the Menu, see Page 4[[http://kennyandziggys.com/menus/K&Zmenu_16.pdf]]

** "Who's Joe?" "[[YourMom Joe Mama]]!".

* ''Webcomic/{{Tweep}}'' has GrumpyBear Jack, when asked if he was ready for the night's outing, announce he has [[http://www.tweep.com/comic/?date=06-05-06 twisted his courage to the sticking place]].

* Lampshaded in one ''Comicbook/JosieAndThePussycats'' story; Alex Cabot III is kidnapped and held for ransom while the band is at a gig in Greece. As part of the ransom, the payment has to be delivered in an urn. The girls go to a shop, and once they are given one by the shopkeeper...

* Subverted in ''Series/TheMuppets'' "Going, Going Gonzo" episode after Scooter rejects Rizzo and Pepe's poker invitation:

** "Ligma." "What's ligma?" "''Ligma balls!''"

* In the prologue to the ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'' novel ''All-Consuming Fire'', the Doctor remembers meeting Creator/ArthurConanDoyle and Creator/RudyardKipling (a CallBack to a Fourth Doctor ''DoctorWhoMissingAdventures'' novel) and asks Ace if she likes Kipling. She, of course, replies that she's never kippled.

* A [[UpToEleven fully-loaded example]] from ''Film/AirplaneIITheSequel'':

* The final puzzle of Castle of ''VideoGame/{{DrBrain}}'', after decoding, instructs you to [[spoiler:"Pluck chicken (or was that a henway?)."]]
