So, applied to the examples:

    As a variable:
    returnType (*variableName)(parameterTypes) = function_name;

variableName is a pointer to a function that accepts parameterTypes and returns returnType

    As a static const variable:
    static returnType (* const variableName)(parameterTypes) = function_name;

variableName is a const pointer to a function that accepts parameterTypes and returns static returnType (or maybe variableName is the static thing?)

    As an array:
    returnType (*arrayName[])(parameterTypes) = {function_name0, ...};

arrayName is an array of pointers to functions that accept parameterTypes and return returnType

    As an argument to a function:
    int my_function(returnType (*argumentName)(parameterTypes));

my_function is a function that accepts an argumentName, which is a pointer to a function accepting parameterTypes and returning returnType, and returns an int

    As a return value from a function:
    returnType (*my_function(int, ...))(parameterTypes);

my_function is a function that accepts int and other parameters and returns a pointer to a function that accepts parameterTypes and returns returnType

    As a typedef:
    typedef returnType (*typeName)(parameterTypes);

a typeName is now a pointer to a function that accepts parameterTypes and returns returnType
