A stock pun — misspelling words that begin with "mis-" by replacing the latter with the honorifics "Miss" or "Ms" (for example, "Miss Spelling"). Usually, this is done because the phrase pertains to a woman, often young. It can be her Punny Name or alias, a Pun-Based Title, or simply done in dialogue to refer to a character. In most cases, the latter half of the word has something to do with the character or work. The pun can be meaningful or ironic depending on how it's read — the aforementioned "Miss Spelling" could be very bad at spelling (because her name plays on misspelling) or very good at spelling (since "spelling" is in her name). This trope is Gender Neutral. While "Miss" is the most common honorific subject to punning (due to the large number of words that begin with "mis-", and the relatively common application of applying it to beauty pageant winners who are referred to as "Miss" Something anyway), it can also apply to puns based around other honorifics, including masculine ones (eg. "Sir Prize" = "surprise"), though such examples tend to forgo any irony for the sake of the pun. Compare Sir Verb-a-Lot, Mister Descriptor, and Mister Strangenoun. Not to be confused with Miss Conception, although that trope name is an example of thisnote misconceptions about sex, conception, and childbirth. |

Bojack Horseman: Invoked in "Thoughts and Prayers", where starlet Courtney Portnoy is supposed to appear in a female-led Taken spinoff titled Ms. Taken (Portnoy plays the niece of Liam Neeson's character). The film's release gets put in jeopardy after a nationwide spate of gun violence, and Princess Carolyn suggests emphasizing "Ms" part to save face. In "Ruthie", Princess Carolyn is dancing around the topic of her miscarriage, so of course the very Italian-American Sandro obliviously refers to Kerry Washington, Carey Mulligan, Carrie Underwood, and Mariah Carey all as "Miss [Carry]". (or "Miss Carey, first name Mariah" in the case of the latter). |

Looney Tunes: In Rabbit Hood, Bugs "knights" the Sheriff of Nottingham with names like Sir Loin of Beef, Earl of Cloves (oil of cloves), Duke of Brittingham, Baron of Munchausen, Essence of Myrrh, Milk of Magnesia, and Quarter of Ten. In Knight-mare Hare, Bugs finds himself in medieval times and meets a knight with several names, including "Sir Oh of Kay" and "Sir Osis of the Liver". Bugs responds by rattling a list of names based on jazz musicians, including "Duke of Ellington", "Count of Basie", "Earl of Hines", "Cab of Calloway", and "Satchmo of Armstrong". In Knighty Knight Bugs, two of King Arthur's knights are Sir Osis of Liver and Sir Loin of Beef. |

Yotsuba&! has the character Hiwatari, a friend of Fuuka. Due to an incident where she bungled introducing herself in class, her nickname is "Miss Stake". This is a Woolseyism; in the original Japanese, her nickname is "Shimau", because she introduced herself with yoroshiku onegaishimau ("please take care of me with regret") rather than yoroshiku onegaishimasu ("please take care of me," a standard introduction). | |

The Tiffany Aching Discworld novels feature Miss Perspicacia Tick, a.k.a. Miss Tick, a witch, teacher, and "witch finder" who travels the lowlands identifying girls who have the gifts and potential to become witches so they can be properly trained. Her name is a pun on "mystic". This gets heavily lampshaded when she introduces herself in The Wee Free Men (left unstated is that "Tick" on its own is actually a good name for a witch who is also a teacher): | |

The Xanth books take place in a World of Pun, so these sorts of names are a dime a dozen. In the beginning of Up In A Heaval", Umlaut is trying to get away from some trouble, so asks the following women for directions; A lady in an explorer's cap called Miss Guide, a shapely lady named Miss In Form, and a lady in a many-feathered bonnet named Miss Chief. Thinking about their names- Misguide, misinform, mischief -Umlaut realizes that he probably shouldn't follow their advice. | |
