Modern Rebuses (word Plays)
A modern example of the rebus used as a form of word play is:
- H + = Hear, or Here.
By extension, it also uses the positioning of words or parts of words in relation to each other to convey a hidden meaning, for example:
- p walk ark: walk in the park
These are often referred to as Plexers.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“There are moments when, faced with our lack of success, I wonder whether we are failures, proud but impotent. One thing reassures me as to our value: the boredom that afflicts us. It is the hall-mark of quality in modern men.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (18221896)
