Lexophiles? (aka Dad Jokes?)

“Lexophile” describes one who has a love for words, such as “you can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish”, or “To write with a broken pencil is pointless.” An annual competition is held by the New York Times to see who can create the best original lexophile.

Note:  The paragraph above kinda bothered me a little.  (Is a lexophile a person, a witty statement, or both? Is it even a word?)  I got intrigued and did a little ‘research’.  For a semi-boring summary of what I found, check out Lexophile, the Word?  Otherwise, ON WITH THE SHOW:
