I need some gnome puns. While I do not intend to fill my game with lots of puns, I would like a handful to pick from.

I intend to play a kind, female, Sweet Gnome named Arabana.

And yes, Gnomes. will run the large Depot of hardware and tools.

Thank you.

Gnome on the range.
Gnome sweet gnome.
There's no place like gnome.
You could have a linguist friend named Gnome Chomsky.

All roads lead to Gnome.

This is Gnome man's land.

Just Say Gnome (to drugs).

Fear of the Un-Gnome.

Check out Randall Munroe's xkcd #1704: Gnome Ann (https://xkcd.com/1704/)


An old one that I cannot remember the source of was Cyragnome de Bergerac ... he had a very long nose.

I used to be a gnome Ad, but I settled down.

Nice, but he left out that Gnome Ann is an island. Which I guess would be Gnome Ann's land.

I think there was/is someone in this forum named Gnome de Plume.

Gnome-Ants of the Three Kingdoms

The clock-maker in the city is known as Tick-Tock, the Metro Gnome.

"The twins are different colors?" -- "Heterognomia."

"A candle-lit, Gnome-antic evening at home."

If your character is chosen for something, they've been Gnome-inated.

Of course, if anything strange or unusual happens to them, that would be an a-Gnome-aly.

At least you can be sure you'll always have a Gnome to go to

And of course there's always the clairvoyant gnome on the run, the small medium at large.

I'd love to help you paddle out a few extra, but I have gnome oar.

Don't forget to use some simple height puns too.

"Sorry, that went over my head"
"I have a little problem with that"
"It's the Small things I do to help! Anything else would crush me!"

There are potential puns to be made on words ending in -nome: astro-gnome, gastro-gnome, agro-gnome,...

And of course if the gnome is a priest he might be a Gnome de Dieu.

Nomine is a Latin word for name (in a particular conjugation.) Some plays in Gnom-in-nay for a gnome based on True Names.

"What's the name of that gnome"? "I'll ask her."

Gnome-en est omen? And if he has to hide his true name, he might need a gnome de guerre or a gnome de plume.

If your Gnome is a bard he might be a-Lutin'.

At my game last week, we realized a great way to raise capital for special projects: Gnome Fund Me

I'm particularly fond of the itinerant Gnomes, who travel around in caravans; The Gnomads.

Also don't forget that if you hear a ticking noise while traveling on the Tube it is likely to be the Metro-gnomes.

If you come across a Gnome skilled in psionic powers revolving around Transportation, then it's a Gnomad.

Don't forget the branch of knowledge concerning the production, transfer, and consumption of wealth: reflected-sound-of-underground-spirits, or "echo-gnomics."

An ancient storyteller of the small folk, from the very start of recorded history - Gnomer.

The Gnome capital has a very highly respected monument dedicated to the outlanders from various races who helped defend them in battle.

It is the Tomb of the un-Gnome Soldier.

Since all roads lead to Gnome, half the traffic is Gnome-ward bound.

So the hardware store is Gnome Depot? Is the leader tyrannical, a real gnome despot? How about clan Alaska? Do you know them? You know how to make a gnome mad? You burn down his home.

There is a Grimoire that contains all the spells that have ever been used by Gnomes (mostly illusion). It's called the Gnome of Magic.

A number of years ago, there was a small tribe of gnomes settled in a northern climate. They had agreed that all members of the tribe would have to vote on major decisions involving the entire group. One day, with a female one of their number far away hunting seals in arctic climates, it came to pass that a major flood befell the tribe's location. While most of the gnomes survived, most of their homes and crops had been utterly destroyed.

"We should travel to the north!" one gnome, who had (as was the custom of the tribe) been given the appellation "Baker" for his task of preparing various breads and pastries. "The rivers there are frozen over and there will be no floods!"

"No, we should travel to the south!" said another gnome, by the name of "Butcher" for equally obvious reasons. "In the desert, there are no rivers to flood!"

So, after much debate, the tribe voted -- and found themselves exactly evenly divided. They simply could not decide! Hours of back and forth swayed nobody. Finally it was decided that someone would have to search out the traveling gnome for their decision. A few gnomes volunteered, but it was decided that a younger gnome, heretofore without an accomplishment of note, would make the journey. "I'll ask her"

And so he traveled, for a number of days, across hills and valleys and frozen tundra. He traveled by mule, then by snowshoe, and finally by dogsled. The arduous travel proved too much for the young gnome, and frail and nearly overcome by the cold, he finally reached the missing member, described in detail the situation, and then expired. The traveling gnome returned, recording the sad tale, and rejoined her tribemates to make a decision.

It was decided that it would be appropriate, in gnomish tradition, to honor the life of the fallen by recreating the final steps of his journey, which eventually saved the tribe by the traveler's prosperous choice of relocation. And so it was that the annual dogsled race to Gnome "I'll Ask Her" was born.

IDK if any of these have been shown yet, but here's a few.
Show Gnome Mercy!
Gnome way, man!
etc.
Basically, just any instance of the word "No" in a common phrase can be replaced with "Gnome" and you have a terrible pun.

Billy was a Gnomish mage
But now he is Gnome ore
The glyph he'd thought was safe dispell'd
Cast Flesh to Stone once more.

There once was a wealthy man who employed gnomes to carve letters from the alphabet from wood. He got very sick, and his doctors were having a hard time figuring out what was the source of the problem. They tried all of the standard tests, which came up short. They turned to the use of divination, which finally gave the clue that the cause was "ungnome".

Well, the doctors misinterpreted that answer, and lined up all the gnomes worked for the man, so they could be interrogated. After sequencing his G gnomes, they finally figured out that the man had been bitten and was having an immunogoblin reaction to the bite.

I was originally thinking the man would turn out to be allergic to the wood, but I struck out finding a type of tree I could use to make another gnome pun. Ah, well. The goblin pun has to suffice.
