I asked my lab partner for sodium hypobromate, but he said, "Na Br O."

Listen up, you silly goose. You went to a lab, huh? Bet you wear glasses. That's where smart folks go. Sodium hypobromate is a real thing in chemistry, it is a molecule with a formula. It's a bit tricky to pronounce, but your lab partner just used the symbols on the periodic table to say the formula, Na Br O, instead of the long name. It's a pun, get it? It is a wordplay thing!
