Dad Jokes @lemmy.world SnokenKeekaGuard @lemmy.dbzer0.com 2mo ago There was also the Spanish cat uno dos, but he disappeared without a tres
I get the joke in the title, but not the one in the image. Is "cat sank" a homophone with something in French?
The numbers four and five (quatre, cinq) are pronounced like ‘cat’ and ‘sank’ in informal spoken French.
Ah, ok. So I'm not an idiot. I just don't speak french! Whew!
GUYS!!! IT'S OK!!! I'M NOT AN IDIOT AFTERALL!!!

4 = quatre ("cat"), 5 = cinq ("sank")
it's the kind of joke that further diminishes my already mutilated will to live
So it's perfect.
