Pu-Push Actually, I'd write it poupouche in French but it would sound completely different when pronounced in English so I went for the closest

Awesome, thanks! Please give Pupush a scritches from me

I love their name. Do they have a sibling named Pupull? Does the name Pupush have a special meaning?

[–] greatmare@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

From where I come from we would say "poupouche" for something cute No idea for the siblings though

[–] spicytoast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for explaining. They are indeed "something cute"

Ya know... you can take down the curtains as often as you'd like, yet they won't call you "curtain take-down".

You can fall off the bed every day, yet they won't call you "bed fall".

But imitate a dung beetle one time....
