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.
