It's like Steve Irwin, infamous croc guy, saying "Crikey!"

I've had this account for 5 years... I feel like I should have gotten this way earlier, hahahaha.

What other puns are there on this site?? Tell me about a mind-blowing moment you've had here.

Feli - figuring that out took an embarrassingly long time. In my head I pronounced it "fell ee" instead of "fee lie" (as in feline). Not really a pun, but something that should have been obvious that I just didn't notice.

Fell-ee is actually how it's pronounced according to the subetapedia so you're not wrong!

As for myself it took me an absurdly long time to figure out a Malticorn was a cross between a maltese and unicorn. I'm sure there's more...

huh...LOL now I'm even more confused. But still took forever to realize it came from feline, no matter how its pronounced!

If I remember right, didn't Marapets have a crocodile-like pet called a "Crikey" or "Krikey" or something? It was a long time ago (I was only 11-13) and I don't know if they still do, I don't know if Subeta got the idea from there or if it's just a coincidence.

are you serious.. I thought it was said like ‘quirky’ the whole time :’)

- at least your not alone. I've also been reading it 'quirky'.

I also read it as "quirky" when I first came back and was astounded when I realized it was a Steve Irwin reference XD

It's originally Australian slang, I'd say both sites got it from Steve Irwin.

I know there's a post somewhere with all the references/etc somewhere in the forums. Fun to look through them all 😁
