When one thinks "minimalist architecture," they often envision a sleek, monochromatic, and unadorned space. But what if I told you that puns can be designed with the same principles in mind?

In the world of words, minimalist pun architecture is not about stripping away everything that's not essential, but about stripping away everything that's not essential to the pun.

Take the humble "Why so seriously" for instance. On its face, it's just a simple phrase, but when viewed through the lens of minimalist pun design, it's a masterclass in reducing the unnecessary. The word count is low, the language is direct, and the play on words is impeccable.

We can learn a thing or two from the great master of minimalist pun design, Maru himself, who once said, "A good pun is its own reward."

So, the next time you find yourself in a word-press, remember, less is often more, especially when it comes to minimalist puns.

And, of course, if you're feeling word-savvy, you can always make puns more convex.
