林來瘋 （Linsanity）：2012年，創造雙關語的最大靈感非籃球運動員林書豪莫屬。2月初，這名虔誠的基督徒、在常春藤聯盟學校受過教育的紐約尼克斯隊美籍亞裔控球後衛在合同還有幾天就要到期之際，從板凳隊員成為超級明星。美國無法抗拒這位NBA球員獨特的性格和作為弱勢者的故事：隨之產生的喧囂被稱為“林來瘋”
The number-one inspiration for puns this year had to be basketball player Jeremy Lin.In early February, the devoutly Christian, Ivy League-educated, Asian-American point guard for the New York Knicks went from bench warmer to superstar———just days before his contract was set to expire. America couldn't resist the NBA player's singular character and un dredge narrative: the resulting hullabaloo was dubbe“Linsanity.”
