some birds are very intuitively named. looked up a sparrow going chipchipchip in my yard, it was a chipping sparrow. saw a black bird with red wings, it was a red winged blackbird. gray bird that sounds like a cat? gray catbird. the first time i saw a house finch it was perched on a windowsill. However, some birds are the red-bellied woodpecker
now, pecker means penis. and wood means boner. so of course you would make assumptions about the term woodpecker. but no. the bird
I LOVE hearing that other languages have so many beautifully unique ways to construct dick jokes
Image ID: a screenshot of tags that say #This is so beautiful because in BR Portuguese the two words that make up woodpecker (pica-pau) ALSO mean dick on their own #There’s even this joke. Like we have a lot of southern lapwings over here right? And we call them quero-quero #Because their cries kind of sound like they’re saying that. And quero means “want” #So you ask someone what you get when you cross a quero-quero with a pica-pau #And people hate it because no matter how they word it the answer is always them saying they want dick /end ID
