In comedic medieval settings, a knight (usually one of the shining persuasion) will be introduced whose name sounds like "Sir Lancelot", only punnier. The "Lance" part will be replaced with a verb (often one that rhymes with "Lance", so "dance" and "prance" are common versions) and the "elot" with "a lot". Thus, we get a Meaningful Name which describes the knight's preferred activity. Note that spelling can vary (sometimes "elot" is left intact), but the punny meaning is always clear. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is such a well-known trope that it has extended beyond this context, becoming a sort of "Stock Pun" used by characters, actual human beings and businesses who have nothing to do with knights. Ironically, given that the character Lancelot was a 12th century French addition to Arthurian legend, the end of his name would rightly be pronounced more like "low" or "lo" than "lot", which rather spoils the joke. |
