Just another homophone riddle



You can see me at a party or on the ground
Whichever one, it makes the same sound
If you find me on the ground you can pick me up
If you find me at a party, you probably can't


What are the homophones?



Hint:




The one on the ground is very common

Is it




rapper and wrapper




Because




Parties can have rappers while you can find wrappers on the ground. Also, you can pick up the wrapper from the ground but not the rapper from the party. Not sure exactly about the second clue though. Maybe because they can both make sounds?

Probably wrong, but:




BALLOON?




You can see me at a party or on the ground




Balloons are often seen at birthday parties, but might also be lying around on the ground.




Whichever one, it makes the same sound




BANG when you pop it.




If you find me on the ground you can pick me up




Clearly.




If you find me at a party, you probably can't




At a party they might be floating in the air, so you can't pick them up.

  • Sorry, good try though. The party is more of a public dancing sorta type party, not a birthday one

Are you




Base and Bass




You can see me at a party or on the ground




Music Base, and the base of somehing.




Whichever one, it makes the same sound




Base and bass sound the same.




If you find me on the ground you can pick me up




It is placed on the ground to hold stuff.




If you find me at a party, you probably can't




You can't hold music like 1848 said.

Could you be




FLOUR and FLOWER?




You can see me at a party or on the ground




At a birthday party, there is always cake, which has flour.
On the ground, flowers can grow.




Whichever one, it makes the same sound




That defines what a homophone is.




If you find me on the ground you can pick me up
If you find me at a party, you probably can't




True for the first part.
True for the second part, but not technically. Slices of cake containing flour can be picked up with a utensil (you yourself can't probably pick up the flour!), but obviously, the purpose of the action is to not actually pick it up; it is to eat the cake!




Also,




Flour and flowers are not balloons, rocks or bases... but they are not really litter, either. I guess a flower could be litter, as the archaic definition of litter is the choice of bedding for a horse (that of which can include plants).

Rock (stone) and rock (music)




because




When you drop a rock, it makes a 'clank' sound. When you play rock music, it also makes 'harsh' sounds. They show up on the ground and at parties respectively.




Also,




You can pick up stones, but I have yet to see a person pick up rock music sound waves.

This could be;




Chord and Cord




Found both at a party and on the ground:




Chords are used in music to carry the tune. Cords have many uses but are often running along the ground in some manner.




Found on the ground you can pick it up;




You can certainly pick cords up off the ground.




At a party you can’t;




At a typical party you can’t raise the chords of a song (unless you’re a live band).

  • No, chords aren't a full time job, really

  • I see you mean you can find like a rubber band on the ground or a hair band, but the line about parties isn't so clear so focus on the hint more

Could you be




FLOUR and FLOWER?




You can see me at a party or on the ground




At a birthday party, there is always cake, which has flour.
On the ground, flowers can grow.




Whichever one, it makes the same sound




That defines what a homophone is.




If you find me on the ground you can pick me up
If you find me at a party, you probably can't




True for the first part.
True for the second part, but not technically. Slices of cake containing flour can be picked up with a utensil (you yourself can't probably pick up the flour!), but obviously, the purpose of the action is to not actually pick it up; it is to eat the cake!




Also,




Flour and flowers are not balloons, rocks or bases... but they are not really litter, either. I guess a flower could be litter, as the archaic definition of litter is the choice of bedding for a horse (that of which can include plants).

  • @Duck thank you! I like the riddle ;) ... though unfortunately I have reached my daily voting limit, and I have to wait $9$ hours before I can vote again (DVL9).

Rock (stone) and rock (music)




because




When you drop a rock, it makes a 'clank' sound. When you play rock music, it also makes 'harsh' sounds. They show up on the ground and at parties respectively.




Also,




You can pick up stones, but I have yet to see a person pick up rock music sound waves.

This could be;




Chord and Cord




Found both at a party and on the ground:




Chords are used in music to carry the tune. Cords have many uses but are often running along the ground in some manner.




Found on the ground you can pick it up;




You can certainly pick cords up off the ground.




At a party you can’t;




At a typical party you can’t raise the chords of a song (unless you’re a live band).

  • I see you mean you can find like a rubber band on the ground or a hair band, but the line about parties isn't so clear so focus on the hint more
    – Duck
