Its tongue looking exactly like its nose but pinker is just the best thing

The Dutch for a shrew is "spitsmuis" which literally does mean "pointy mouse"

As ever, do with this information what you will

Reminds me that the word "marsvin" means both porpoise and guinea pig in danish, which really confuses machine translation

fionnuisce.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is that "sea pig"? Makes sense for porpoise, is the word for guinea pig a different etymology or is it like "pig from across the sea"?

mrfergusdoyle.bsky.social•4 days ago

In a very convoluted way, yes, via the old german word "meer" (in danish sea is "hav"), tho in German there was a diminuative to show the difference

ohlookbirdies.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh I like that

ewacat.bsky.social•4 days ago

that is INCREDIBLE information

We also call a certain kind of cabbage 'spitskool' with much less justification.

ohlookbirdies.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's pretty pointy, to be fair

aliceponderland.bsky.social•4 days ago

That is a very pointy cabbage

ohlookbirdies.bsky.social•4 days ago

That cabbage could definitely stab someone

I learnt long ago to never underestimate the creativity of prisoners when it came to methods of constructing the humble shiv in all its myriad forms.

Look out lads, he's got a shrew!

aliceponderland.bsky.social•4 days ago

I suppose you could threaten someone with an actual shrew as they have a venomous bite (elephant shrews are not technically shrews and aren’t venomous. And aren’t elephants either).

mrmoth.bsky.social•4 days ago

Not elephants? Now you tell me *throws away tiny howdah*

bisonfish.bsky.social•4 days ago

I can tame it

mrmoth.bsky.social•4 days ago

You can try.

bisonfish.bsky.social•4 days ago

I will

bisonfish.bsky.social•4 days ago

Then I will write a play about it
