Funtire: noun.
1. Satire which is aimed to cause verbal or psychological harm to a person. One may think that quite illogical due to the composition of the word, but in fact the word in itself is an example of funtire and after experiencing the word in this way, one should feel some discomfort and drowsiness.
2. A tire which has somehow escaped the wheel it was previously attached to and is consequently roaming the streets free like a bird, ignoring any duties and requirements, living life to the fullest. Funtires are some of the most envied objects in certain US states.

Funtire
Funtire: noun. This word of course first emerged from a misspelling of the word 'furniture' but has since then come to mean various things.
1. The attraction in a playground, which resembles a swing but is much less effective or fun. It's cumbersome and difficult to swing properly and yet bafflingly remains popular in modern playground, despite the elements of 'play'.
2. A joke tire created by the company Dunlop, which when inflated to a certain point would cause the car to feel as if it were on water and driving through waves, rather than on a flat road. The tire was created to cater to people who were bored of regular driving and also seamen, who had unfortunately found themselves ashore.
