everyone,

I have recently discovered a weird monologue, related to the name of Japanese
film さびしんぼう (Lonely Hearts), that suggests there is a hidden pun within it.
That's what it said, I quote it below:

> 薬師丸に借りた「さびしんぼ 」って映画の中にさ、「 さ 」という字が「 び 」という字を 「 しんぼう 、しんぼう 」て 言いながらおんぶ して「 さび
> しんぼう ってセリフあったじゃん? おれなんかグッときちやってさー

It is clear to me what the title actually means (寂しん坊), but what is the pun of
this decomposition? I see how 辛抱 has sense while one says it to his carrier,
but not sure that's what was meant here. Does び mean 美? Or what would さ even
mean exactly?..

A hidden pun in さびしんぼう?
> 「 さ 」という字が「 び 」という字を 「 しんぼう 、しんぼう 」て 言いながらおんぶ して「 さび しんぼう 」

寂{さび}しん坊{ぼう} and 辛抱{しんぼう} is exactly what you depict. But, I'm sorry to say
that 「 さ 」and 「 び 」 mean nothing but only have the sound of **_sa_** and
**_be_** without any witticism being contrary to your expectations.
