I mean, a it‘s not a play on words because the saying “la melange est la saveur/epice/piquant de la vie” just makes no sense. It’s not that I want things to be literal, it’s just that this particular “play on words” doesn’t even exist.

Do you also hate half rhymes? Words are fuzzy.

a half rhyme sounds like a rhyme. You just have to not understand what the word means at all to think that a play on words is happening here.

Word play. Play doesn’t always have super strict rules 🙄
