just commenting to say that if a future Title Fairy thread is named Outback Steakhouse the opening post should just say "no rules, just right"- Human Sequencer

No, I'm a cowAlso, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?- Firebringer

Like, the value in a pun title is in the way it efficiently conveys multiple meanings. What makes or breaks a pun title is the aptness of the meanings it ties together and how naturally it does that. Expert Marxman, Shipwright, Nekonfidante — they aren't decent titles just because they're puns, but because they efficiently riff on different aspects of the user. "That's a Rap" conveys multiple meanings, too, but one is just openly extraneous. A later reader will wonder why it was conveyed in the first place. You can ignore the way the phrase suggests more than just that KTS raps, but a typical reader won't.
This site here has a list of idioms involving the word "wrap"; maybe another one actually captures something about KTS, allowing the pun to have the broad referentiality that motivates doing pun titles in the first place. For example, if KTS has a secretive streak you can use "Under Raps". In that case, the pun would actuallydosomething instead of being low-key confusing.

This actually gives me an idea for a pun-based title generator!
It could take a list of or a single "reference" to be made about a user (like, for example, "Rap"), seek out a list of synonyms for the word, and then for each synonym (as well as the original word itself), produce a list of homophones of said synonyms. From there, one can generate a list of idioms that use each homophone — this should be readily convertible into an exhaustive list of idiomatic puns on the original reference!- Human Sequencer
