@[=LordGro=],

I understand now, on both points.  HideYourHomophones I took with a different second meaning, that of hiding double meanings in plain sight through use of homophones.  But this is probably quibbling on a subject we seem to be in complete agreement about.

FunWithHomophones is more than good enough on its own.  The clarity of a straightforward name stands in contrast with the aural confusion of a good homophone.

"Ass-ending" I will continue to defend as sensible in light of the screencap, since if Lara's legs were in line with her body then there would be no "ending" at that point.

As for being a groaner and closer to the line of good taste than I would enjoy, guilty on both counts.  But (homophone pun intended), that's one of the more popular uses of this trope in Real Life dirty jokes.  And considering the focus on backsides, the two page examples seem to be in about as good a taste as possible.

The thematic unity of the two examples seems serendipitous as well.  Yes, a lot of homophones are much worse than this, but look how they were used in these works of actual, Real World popular culture.  The song in particular is brazen GettingCrapPastTheRadar.  It shows that it's possible to be risque without being overt, and with decently camouflaged intentions strictly through use of this trope.

Or am I overthinking this?

P.S.  Once again, I think we're ready to launch.  Just need to figure out which indexes to use.
