as French, it took me a while to get it...

I didn't get it

Balzac = Ballsack

Yeah it gets ruined because we actually read the accent aigu and that removes the double meaning completely. I had to think like a non-speaker to get it, it was quick but I had to go back and think about it.

I had a student some thirty years ago whose name was Oh Yu Suk.

It was difficult for me to maintain when I first saw it.

My favourite was the guy on twitter having a meltdown because people kept asking him why he was in their shed.

Poor old Amin Yashed

I believed for a long time as a kid that the toilet was invented by John Crapper.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago

Ha! Must have been so disappointed when you learned it was Louis Toilette!

Baseball great Albert Pujols has no doubt of their plural importance.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Well, not the WHOLE toilet, but he did invent the Floating Ballcock!

[-] crazyCat@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

It wasn’t? I’ve believed this since I was a kid.
