concerning butterflies
i thought i would write a post today that didn’t involve freaky sex terms or raw fraternity boy potty humor… and so, like nabokov, i turned to butterflies! but then i came across this factoid [alert: it has the potential of (figuratively) spoiling your butter]:
- butterflies were so named because butter was thought to be similar in both colour and consistency to butterfly excrement.
oh boy! my first dog was named snickers for similar reasons. again, i have verified the etymology but not the semblance.
1moretime: THEY ARE CALLED BUTTERFLIES BECAUSE THEY POOP BUTTER!!!!!!!!!
