Answer:

A pun.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pun is a clever wordplay that is commonly used in satire or comedic narratives, which can have multiple meanings and interpretations, or similar-sounding words.

Puns are used to subtly represent other elements, usually according to the culture (politics, race, gender, or historical events), and adding depth and a sharp wit to a specific narrative.
