I have been blessed with the ability to make bad puns, and when you have such a gift, it should be shared. My bad Greek god and goddess puns have proved popular, and so today I offer bad Norse god and goddess puns. This is quite challenging, much harder than with the Greeks, but I've bravely done my best, although I realize, after having posted this, that I don't actually have any good ones for any of the goddesses. Sorry.

There's the obvious:
Which Norse god had less hair than you? Baldur.
Which Norse god shows up on a crying baby's face? Tyr.
And of course one can do unraveling puns with Frey and Freya.
But here are the two that I'm actually rather pleased with:
Why is the Norse god of thunder the best hitchhiker of all? Because nothing sticks out like a Thor thumb.
Which Norse god is the most relaxed? Loki (Low Key).
I do not, however, think I will ever get a good, quality, pun for Odin.

ReplyDeleteYou could probably do one in Russian, where the number 1 is odin (long i sound--ahdeen). But I am not skilled with puns and no longer skilled with Russian either.
well then-- What Norse God always comes first in Russia?
DeleteI don't want to spoil the plot of American Gods, but a major plot point on it hinges on a Norse God pun.
ReplyDelete"Thor thumb" is excellent. You are some kind of puns genius.
Thanks. I have been meaning to read Norse Gods ever since I bought it for my husband four years ago.....argh.
DeleteArgh... I meant American Gods!

ReplyDeleteI'll have you know, I read these aloud to Tech Boy. He is still rolling hie eyes.
Thor thumb = best bad Nordic god pun EVER.
We are WORKING on Odin...
Ha! Loki is my favorite. I feel about puns the same way you usually feel about intrusive narrators...but these are fun. Have you been reading a lot of Norse mythology lately?
ReplyDeleteMy tongue is Thor.
ReplyDeleteThese were a Hel of a good laugh. I'll be Odin you one for a long time
ReplyDeleteThese were a Hel of a good time. I'll be Odin you one now.
