My girlfriend and I would have a lot of fun with this one. We were in San Diego, and I pointed out that the shore birds spent most of their time at exactly the shoreline. She said, "I guess that's why they call them shore birds." and I said, "Littorally."

Luckily we had a snare drum for the rim shot.
