"Little bastard who ate my Alyssum maritimum"
"Fucker who at the flower buds on my Forsythia europea"
"Little shithead who dug up my Lathyrus odoratus"

"Poops seeds of..."
"Nests in..."

Studied Ichthyology in the early 2000's and will never forget how much of my A&P coursework was on birds. And how the lab TAs were not at all impressed when I just called them all air fish.

P.S. If you haven't listened to the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast by the QI elves, you're missing out.

I feel like even a botanist would know a seagull because their assholery is so epic. The seagull's assholery, not the botanists', that is.
12ReplyYeah, but don't give them the credit. I'll never forgive them for shitting on me that one time (botanists that is...)

False. Those are all drones.

There are quack-quacks and peep-peeps.
