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.

“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.

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.

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

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.
