Imagine how stupid we look to water dwellers with our methods of self propelled moving trough water.
I bet the water fauna doesn’t consider it swimming either and probably would have some funny name for it if they used a universal language.
Whale: look at the hairless ape galumphing. They’re so cute 🥰
It’s just sinking with style
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
The second coming of u/poem_for_your_sprog?
Alas, not original like Sprog, just an individual with quite refined tastes quoting from the excellent classic poem by Lewis Carroll https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/42916/jabberwocky
Lol, “One, two! One, two!” at the beginning had me thinking it’s Danny Brown or Quasimoto or something.
Well if the physicists can steal “quark” from James Joyce, the sealologists can steal “galumph” from Lewis Carroll.
(“Quark” rhymes with “Mark” in the original, though; not with “dork”.)
Do people actually pronounce it qork?
Murray Gell-Mann did (the guy who named them for anyone unaware). The general opinion seems to have been similar to that of the guy who invented the gif however: just because he named it doesn’t mean he wasn’t wrong about how it is pronounced.
So I just started galumphing…
Pretty sure its boing-boing-boing-ing.
I’m reporting this post. I didn’t consent to being recorded getting outta bed in the morning.
You should see how mattresses move
Yes, that’s what I was referencing. 😊
Oh I know. The URL is for those who don’t know where their towel is.
Thanks you hoopy frood.
I expected this
This one always gets me, hahhahaha
fucking same!
There it is!
I didn’t get a galumph outta that guy!
So there I was, gallantly triumphing
Life uhh finds a way
I wish I were a seal so I could galumph and poop at the same time.
I mean, nothing is stopping you now. Live your dream!
I’m in this post, and actually, I’m ok with it… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The one bucking the curve riding side saddle is way ahead of the game.
It looks like he’s missing a flipper. I bet that really wreaks havoc on his balance / equilibrium.
Why does this sound like an incorrect spelling of galloping?
