Filipino puns: Tsinelas
Is it even possible to make puns out of the word tsinelas? Have no fear, your Tito Albert is here. I also have a plethora of Filipino puns here.
First, ask yourself what rhymes with tsinelas? Nothing you say? Blasphemy! If you think about it, you just need similar-sounding words like, Manila or Godzilla. To make it easier, you can even take just part of the word and make a pun out of that. Like the part “tsin”, that can be “chin”, and then make a joke or a piece of art with the word “CHIN-nelas”!
Here are some tsinelas puns that you can slip on while at a Havianas or Sandugo store:
- What is the capital of the country that wears the most slippers? Metro Tsinelas.
- Who is the king of slippers? Godz-inelas (or Tsin-zillas might work too, have yet to create a focus group for this).
- Finally, what do you call slippers with a goatee? CHIN-nelas!
Nothing like jokes that “flip-flop” all the way to the hearts of Filipinos worldwide. Growing up our angry Tito Teddy used to ask us whether we wanted “the stick, or the slipper?” I wish he sent us a link to this page instead.
