Poof! You can now only insult people using animal names. What will you be using?

Lol!! Que risa! Wow bitter much? :laughing::sweat_smile:

Interesting since a related species found in the same area is literally called ā€œPuddingwife wrasseā€

You wrinkly stinkhorn!

I was in the woods with a friend one day, and we found some Chroogomphus mushrooms. We thought it sounded like a funny insult to call each other a Chroogomphus. This inside joke has managed to last quite a while between us.

Oh yeah, true, that one is also common but in deeper reefs, and is one my favorite fish, it’s so colorful.

Depends on whether you’re a starling, or a human. And we know who brought them here.

I don’t want to be the person to have to break out the worst ones, but people seem to have a forgotten these:

  • Vagina Horse Mussel
  • Donkey (Equus asinus) or Jackass

And don’t forget about dickcissel either!

(sorry all)

It should be noted that some animal names were changed because they were based on racial slurs.

I always forget how many weird moth names there are!

Horrid Zale is another one. No idea why it’s called that, nothing horrid about its appearance whatsoever. And I imagine the Retarded Dagger is not any less intelligent than its relatives either. I wonder if there is another meaning to those words here, or if those particular moths just somehow got on the bad side of the scientists who named them
