Today’s Wayno / Piraro Bizarro offers a pun using the available resources sparingly: piñata coladas — piña coladas as made by (anthropomorphized) piñatas: Helpfully, with a recipe (if you’re puzzled by the odd symbols in the cartoon — Wayno says there are only 2 in this strip — see this Page) The resources. First, from NOAD: noun piña colada: cocktail made with rum, pineapple juice, and coconut [ORIGIN: Spanish, literally ‘strained pineapple’] Then, in my 10/15/18 posting “Piñata under the gun”, a section on the piñata. [ORIGIN: mid 19th century Spanish, literally ‘pot’ — (AMZ:) possibly a metaphorical pineapple] It’s pineapples, plus pomegranates, all the way down (or in the case of grenades, all the way blown up). (Now I admit that the cartoon has sent my wandering mind to vistas of My Little Pony, soused on rum)
