Hmmm, which one? I'm going to paddle around in my kāy-nō?, or The lava from that vol-ka-ˈnew might cover the village!

I think there's a joke about vul-canoes and vulverines in here somewhere that result in canoes with claws. I just can't quite find it.

[-] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

"vulverines" sounds more like genitals with claws.

[-] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago

Or clawing genitals

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

And from vulvarines, we can get to vulvamarine, where there has to be some kind of cunnilingus joke.

Give it a few hours, someone's bound to come up with it.

[-] boblin@infosec.pub 5 points 10 months ago

Why not both?

[-] stanka@lemmy.ml 24 points 10 months ago

I'm not doing research here while being an internet expert. But more people are killed every year in canoe-related incidents than volcano related incidents.

[-] Eylrid@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Mildly related fact: More people die of drowning every year than have ever died from nuclear incidents including Nagasaki and Hiroshima

[-] stanka@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

As a man of history would not use the term incident to describe those wartime actions.

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago

Technically, cancer caused by cosmic rays is also a nuclear incident.

Bing helped me put together the mental image I got from this post.

But which one will we be mispronouncing?

Canoes = kay-noes?

Volcanoes = vahl cuh noos?

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

TIL canoes isn't pronounced kay-noes like volcanoes... English why do you keep bamboozling me 😩

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Because English isn't a language, it's a goon in a trench-coat that lures other languages into dark alleys and beats them down to steal spare grammar.

Canoe comes from Caribbean indigenous words through Spanish and Volcano comes from ancient Latin and Roman religion.

Where do douche-canoes fit in on the danger spectrum?

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Well that's French for shower canoes

And everyone knows not to mess with the French, lest they hit you with their baguettes

Ergo super dangerous

QED

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I'm drunk btw

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

And are vol-canoes flying canoes?

[-] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 10 points 10 months ago

Well the old West Norse 'völlr' means field, so "vol-canoe" would roughly be field-canoe, or land-boat...

So maybe a tractor?

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 7 points 10 months ago

You're thinking of flyaks, or possibly skyaks.
