Bing helped me put together the mental image I got from this post.

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.

[-] Eylrid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Mildly related fact: More people die of drowning every year than have ever died from nuclear incidents including Nagasaki and Hiroshima

[-] stanka@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

As a man of history would not use the term incident to describe those wartime actions.

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 😩

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Where do douche-canoes fit in on the danger spectrum?

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

QED

I'm drunk btw

[-] Chais@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

And are vol-canoes flying canoes?

[-] Nemo@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

You're thinking of flyaks, or possibly skyaks.

[-] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Well the old West Norse 'völlr' means field, so "vol-canoe" would roughly be field-canoe, or land-boat...

So maybe a tractor?

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] therandoe@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

"vulverines" sounds more like genitals with claws.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And from vulvarines, we can get to vulvamarine, where there has to be some kind of cunnilingus joke.

[-] retrolasered@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

Or clawing genitals

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Give it a few hours, someone's bound to come up with it.

[-] boblin@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

Why not both?
