Then it dawned on me. I think they meant "Royal Mail."
But me, being American, was at the same time conflating it with "Daily Mail."
Just to clear it up: "Royal Mail" is the tabloid started by Prince Harry. ✅

I always have to look it up. Finally found an article (of the gazillions) that works for me. Sharing in the great hope it works for a fellow scribe.

81 followers · 171 posts · Server zirk.usROLL and ROLE are #homophones. Some people have trouble remembering which is which.
ROLL can mean a baked bread, like a cinnamon roll, or it can mean to cause something to move. Perhaps there are wheels involved. Perhaps it's by tossing the thing, like dice (or a single die). It can even refer to something that's rolled up, like a roll of parchment or carpeting.
ROLE is a part someone plays. It might be fictional (as in a play or a game) or occupational (a teacher, a nurse). 1/2

More name-punning nonsense for 80s kids and speed-readers. Pulled out all the stops (Paul Dart/Alice Topps?) for this one. Enjoy. 🙂🎵

Jokes involving the transposition of homophones are not funny when you have to type them out for a meme to post online.

She’s 1000X faster at rapping out its word scramble variations, but sometimes calls on my, er, Brobdingnagian vocabulary. Recently stuck enough to go online for clues, she required a 6-letter word for “relating to a tail.” I dredged up “caudal” & shazam! Queen Bee.
Huh. “Caudal” is pronounced like “coddle.” Coincidence? Or subliminal commands from our caudal companions?
