Had to say it out loud.
This would be much more enjoyable without the reply at the bottom.

This is the internet version of a laugh track
Took me an embarrassing amount of time.
I still dont get it.
What to say out loud?
Is it suu sticks.
Kuu sticks
Or zoo sticks?
A coo sticks
Acoosticks
Acoustics
You win. Thank you.
I needed the “u” here to grasp it.
But honestly I think my stupidity on that one is funnier than the joke itself.
ok so far.
It’ll become funny once I understand the double meaning. What does it mean the way it is written “coo sticks”? I get the “coo” as the sound of the pidgeon, but the “sticks” escapes me.
Maybe it’s because I’m not a native speaker, but I didn’t find it funny at all. I got the A coo sticks = Acoustics right away, but it seems forced. Saying a sound ‘sticks’ is not how one would describe a sound not traveling/bouncing.
The coo doesn’t bounce. It sticks.
The pun is “acoustics”- which is a branch of physics that deal with sound (and also the term for acoustic qualities of a particular enviroment; which is something that is very carefully controlled on a stage)
There word “sticks” is being used in the sense “adheres”. So the “coo” doesn’t bounce around in a series of reflections, but instead remains attached to the first surface it strikes.
Honestly I would translate a pidgeon sound with an R
Like
Chrooo.
But thats just my 2 cents.
I mean, since when did animal noises get accurately described?
Like yeah.
I mean.
I have seen some documentary using leafs and straws to blow which sound like fucking invitations. Or af least should…
you know, I am some kind of a scientist myself
A coo sticks.
Pretty lame concert with only one audience member. Are they being punoshed for something?
I’m going to use a version of this if anyone ever brings up the whole duck-quack-echo thing.
This might be my favorite community outside my own instance
I try
Groan
“Quack, damn you”
