Differently spelled words that pronounce exactly the same.
Some common homophones include
- there, their, they’re
- your, you’re
- taught, taut, tot
- aunt, ant
- for, four, fore
- break, brake
- scent, cent, sent
- weather, whether
An alarmingly significant chunk of the English-speaking population seems to struggle with homophonic words, age surprisingly not playing a major factor.
Having the ability to correctly use homophones is a skill that’s heavily unappreciated and seems to be dying off slowly. Therefore, if one encounters an individual with such a rare skill, realize how potentially valuable that individual may be. This is especially true for younger people. In a world where smartphones autocorrect wrong spelling but fail to autocorrect wrong homophone usage, this is a skill that should be highly valued.

Get the homophones mug.An unwanted erection experienced by a homophobe when they see guys doing something they see as sexually provocative, eg a guy kissing another guy.
The stronger the feelings of homophobia, the easier a homophoboner is achieved.
This erection is similar to one experienced by a rapist, as the owner of the penis experiences arousal and anger simultaneously. The anger only makes the boner more powerful though, making homophoboners a real hazard for the modern homophobe.
