Hair Puns

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on hair puns! ✂️ 👩🏻 ✨

Our hair puns have to be seen to be be-weaved. Rest a-sheared that no matter the hairstyle or pun you’re into, our pun list is a cut above the rest! We have puns ranging from general hair terms to styling materials to technical classifications of hair texture. Comb on in and enjoy!

While this list is as comprehensive as possible, it is specific to hair. We have included some facial hair puns too, but not a whole lot as we have a separate beard pun list on the way.

Turkey Puns

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on turkey puns! 🦃 ⛅

While turkeys are seasonally popular due to holiday demand, they’re loved all year round at Punpedia. Whether you’re looking for a specific pun for your Thanksgiving celebrations, attempting to contribute to (or win!) a pun thread, or trying to make some really terrible pick-up lines, we hope this list has what you need.

Note: Punpedia never jokes about killing or hurting animals, and so you won’t find any puns about slaughtering, plucking, debeaking, battery cages, or anything like that. Only happy puns that are friendly to our turkey pals 🙂 Enjoy!
