The level of dada-ism has reached “Listening to 11.975MHz” level. I approve.
It’s sad that ‘man-aise’ probably came from people saying “man” as “mayn” and then assuming that’s what they were hearing with mayonnaise.. so once again it’s all the fault of all those people we hate.
Thank you, Mountain Time, for encouraging me to keep studying French even though it seems to have twenty maddeningly arbitrary exceptions for every one understandable grammatical rule. Hopefully I, too, will someday be a French speaker and be able look at the cockatrice without falling dead like everyone else who encounters it. Or is that privilege reserved for French speakers who are also bomb-headed, banana-and-apple-handed men? Anyway, hurray for Tuesday updates!
Do my eyes deceive me… is this a… TUESDAY COMIC!?
Claudia…
As a french speaker, I approve of french-speaking bomb-headed banana-and-apple-handed men.
I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS TUESDAY UPDATE, I MASHED THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON AND IT BROKE… BUT IT’S OKAY BECAUSE I’M STILL QUITE GIDDY ABOUT IT!
Albino: ssshhhh, don’t tell
Dougie: she’s a hell of a woman and/or sunset, isn’t she?
Melodie: glad to hear it!
HHP: WHO NEEDS LOWERCASE LETTERS ANYWAY

Thanks, ColdFusion! Incidentally, I much prefer MEY-uh-neyz, because stress on ending syllables weirds me out about 20% of the time.

@Coy Try Russian, it’s worse
The chicken has a very long tail.
Coy: I dunno, looks like the two guys in the boat are pretty alive too. I think it might just be a defective cockatrice.
Marty: That’s because it’s a cockatrice/basilisk (and kind of a giant one, too).
Oh NO! It’s the ROOSTER HEADED WYVERN!!!! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!! SWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM!!!! AND FLY IF YOU CAN!!!!!!!
