Sundials

David 20 June 2019

Sundials can only be used by male children. If female children used them they'd be called Two words fused literal daughter + dial A portmanteau combining 'daughter' with 'dial' (as in sundial). payoff daughter-dials (hypothetical device for girls) A playful name for sundials used by female children, following the logic that male children's dials are called 'son-dials' (sundials). The pun hinges on 'sundial' being parsed as 'sun-dial' vs. 'son-dial', with 'daughter' replacing 'son' in the portmanteau. .
