Fall is the season of falling leaves, crisp air, harvest festivals and cozy everything. Its main word does double duty: "fall" is both the season and what the leaves do, and it lives inside phrases like "fall in love," "fall for you" and "fall apart." Add "leaf" (leave, believe), "gourd," "harvest" and "crisp," and autumn puns practically rake themselves.
