NYTO or “No, you’re thinking of...”

Linking the time-honoured Reddit Traditions of going wildly off topic with Comment Chains and derailing a comment with Puns while adding a *soupçon* of “The Ole Reddit Switch-a-roo", NYTO is an opportunity rarely missed for Redditors try to outdo each other with endless puns as usual.

NYTO is where people will respond to a question with information about a word that sounds similar to the one in the original question. The next person in the chain responds with "no, you're thinking of" and then responds the same way while setting the next user up with an opportunity to respond in turn. This is an ideal example[1] of a semi-serious query which soon devolves into absolute nonsense.

Another perfect NYTO occurred here[2] after a fascinating and true historical discovery, and this one turned a mildly infuriating incident[3] into a highly underrated exchange.

Ah, Reddit; never change. r/NYTO.
