In comedic medieval settings, a knight (usually one of the [[KnightInShiningArmor shining persuasion]]) will be introduced whose name sounds like "[[Myth/ArthurianLegend Sir Lancelot]]", only [[JustForPun punnier]]. The "Lance" part will be replaced with a verb (often one that rhymes with "Lance", so "dance" and "prance" are common versions). The "elot" may be replaced with "a lot", or even if it's not, it's understood as a pun that way. Thus, we get a PunnyName and a MeaningfulName which describes the knight's preferred activity. The reverse version of the pun (e.g. "Sir Lancelittle") shows up occasionally, but is much rarer.
