afaik it's supposed to be pronounced "boo-opps"
I was saying boo-oops
Gorilla gorilla gorilla
To save you some time
Species named like this are called "autonymous". Like rattus rattus or puffinus puffinus.
I was interested in a list of species like this, but couldn't find anything when searching for "autonym". Did you mean "Tautonym" instead?
Oh doh yes I do! Once again I got tautonym and autonym mixed up. Autonym is within a species - like homo sapiens sapiens to distinguish from homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
stupid Buffalo latin name not being buffalo, otherwise this would fit:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
But its name IS Bison Bison Bison!
Buffaloan bison bison bison that Buffaloan bison bison bison buffalo also buffalo Buffaloan bison bison bison.
You are the wind beneath my wings and the annoyance to my wife. Buffalo^7 is a glorious phrase
I am that and more, m'Bourgon.
YAAAY
I dont know what you're talking about. My dumb brain just completes this with:
mushroom, MUSHROOM. A snake oh no its a snake it's a.....
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_buffalo_Buffalo_buffalo
mushroom, MUSHROOM. A snake oh no its a snake it’s a…
weebl it up my man
And then there's me, the homo homo.
It's that the Latin name for the Common Bay Area Bartender? Or do I have it mixed up?
homo homo sapiens sapiens
tap a face to tag
Monke monke ! A shame that game got ruined by little kids
No caracal?
If you're cool you change languages mid name. Aquila chrysaetos.
I'll do you one better: Diceros bicornis.
Diceros bicornis
The twohorned twohorn... this is wild.
Yeah, the author was having fun.
Gorilla used repetitiveness.
It was very effective.
It goes, it goes, it goes, guillotine yuh
Personally I prefer Equus Caballus
Ð scientific name for Horse is just a fancier way of saying "horse horse"
Humanity is not often an especially creative race
The grizzly bear is Ursos arctos horribilis, which translates as "horrible bear bear."
Which is kind of funny because of miscommunication, they thought they were naming a grisly bear.
shoutout for using thorn and eth, but man using just eth as a short for "the" took me a couple seconds to figure out.
It's borrowed from Shavian's idea of short handing certain grammar words. Were I a bolder man I'd be doing ð same for for, but, and, not, so, to, and oðers, along wið a host of orþographic reforms.
flying gorila
Homo sapiens sapiens?
Buffalo buffalo buffalo homo Homo sapiens sapiens?
