How to use wordplay in a sentence?

  1. Brooke Shields:

    [ My mom ] was like, ‘ Do you want to put on these jeans and do a commercial ? ’ it was going to be [ a lot of ] wordplay, or historical and literary references. There was a real intellectual spin on how they were going to produce [ the ads ]. Nobody was allowed on set. Because it was Avedon’s first foray into the commercial world. I think he was pretty nervous. Stakes were pretty high and I think there was a lot of pressure. We did multiple, multiple takes of everything.

  2. Mark Laver:

    There are other rappers who have a more sophisticated wordplay, but the way his flow spills across the bar lines -- he sounds like a saxophone player, he really floats over the top of the music.
