“The Santa Clause” or “Legally Blonde”
Answer:
PUN
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue plays on the word "clause," which sounds like "Claus" (as in Santa Claus). Both "The Santa Clause" and "Legally Blonde" are movie titles where the word "clause" is part of the name, but the real hint is that "clause" and "Claus" form a pun. The answer is "PUN" because the clue itself is a playful word trick.
