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!
Why not both?
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.
“vulverines” sounds more like genitals with claws.
And from vulvarines, we can get to vulvamarine, where there has to be some kind of cunnilingus joke.
Or clawing genitals
Give it a few hours, someone’s bound to come up with it.
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.
Mildly related fact: More people die of drowning every year than have ever died from nuclear incidents including Nagasaki and Hiroshima
As a man of history would not use the term incident to describe those wartime actions.
Technically, cancer caused by cosmic rays is also a nuclear incident.
Bing helped me put together the mental image I got from this post.
Where do douche-canoes fit in on the danger spectrum?
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
I’m drunk btw
But which one will we be mispronouncing?
Canoes = kay-noes?
Volcanoes = vahl cuh noos?
TIL canoes isn’t pronounced kay-noes like volcanoes… English why do you keep bamboozling me 😩
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.
And are vol-canoes flying canoes?
Well the old West Norse ‘völlr’ means field, so “vol-canoe” would roughly be field-canoe, or land-boat…
So maybe a tractor?
You’re thinking of flyaks, or possibly skyaks.
