I was thinking about a food stand I got fried squid at that was called “Bocalamar”

when I was there I thought the name was clever because you could read it as bo calamar (good squid) or boca la mar (the words for mouth and the sea)

I just did some googling to see if there were any more meanings and it turns out if you stretch a little you could also read it as bocal amar (a word that could be used to mean fishbowl and the verb for to love) or bo cala mar (good, a word that could mean cove or soak or other water related things, and sea)

I don’t know if all of this was intentional or not but I just thought it was cool how many (even if loosely) seafood/ocean related words fit together
