1. there is this Rebus puzzle from the UK

(the question or CLUE is) O, Obe, Obey

and the answer is [love honour and obey]

why does OBE mean Honor ???

In UK, OBE = Officer of the Order of the British Empire. (It is one of the honours that might be
bestowed on a citizen, e.g. in the New Year's Honours list.)

2. why are Rebus puzzles called [Dingbats] in the UK?

is there a good explanation for it, or is it just historical?

Mike.
