But then the joke that fox is telling wouldn't make sense

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

It still is funny but in a slightly darker way.

Then I won't do that. Thanks for pointing that out.

gekkering

I didn’t even question that this is the verb a fox would use to laugh with.

Fun fact: I almost embarrassed myself and wrote "geckering", but my wife corrected me at the last second.

Geckering is how monkeys laugh. Foxes gekker.

There's also an audio file for gekkering but that's the pronunciation for the word, not the actual example...

It almost is, it would translate as 'crazy ring'.

I translated the joke

A fox walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one'."

Ah, a fellow Sumerian.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago
