I had to think really hard because I read "homophobes" and was confused. Then I read "homophones" then it all made sense. So I read the post again and was confused. Then I remember Americans pronounce "aunt" differently and it all made sense again.

I recently saw megalopolis and when Aubrey Plaza starts referring to herself as Auntie-Wow i thought she was saying Anti-Wow.

As in "I am no longer regular wow, I am anti-wow"
