So much more accurate (except the rooster, that is whack).
That's insane troll logic!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
(except the rooster, that is whack).
Now I want to waste the rest of the afternoon on an international rooster-sound tour. Because "cocorico" is whack, yes, but so much less so than "cock-a-doodle-doo". I've never heard a rooster pronounce a single "D", let alone three of them!

This conversation reminds me of a David Sedaris bit that had to do with the Dutch version of Santa Claus. It started out talking about how to get to the heart of a foreign country- first you ask about its gun laws, then the sounds that barnyard animals make, and finally what their take on Santa Claus. In the Netherlands he is accompanied by "Six to Eight Black Men" which is the title of the piece.
It is effing HILARIOUS.

I love that essay, Nora.

Oh, yes! And if you're bad, he beats you and steals your shoes? Or something?

Oh, but the Matilda stories make me smile.
rooster = cocorico
In Hebrew, it's "coocooricoo", but still.
It's definitely different in each language that *I* know of.
Hebrew dogs bark "hav hav". And Hebrew ducks quack "ga ga".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
