One of several things I learned from Monster House.
The German word is beautiful, by the way: Gaumenzäpfchen
“Gaumen” is the roof of the mouth (palate).
And a “Zäpfchen” is a small “Zapfen”, which is a thing that protrudes from something, e.g. an icicle is an “Eiszapfen” and a pine cone is a “Tannenzapfen”.
It’s like someone took the sentence in the picture and made a word out of it. 🙃
Reminds me of a little joke—
Knock knock…
Who’s there?
Not OP
Not OP who?
Not OP but I’ll accept it anyway
Reminds me of monster house:
Girl: “look! That must be the uvula”
Guy: “ooooooh, so it’s a girl house”
Girl: confused look
Always pops into mind when a uvula is mentioned.
It’s the, the, whatchumacallit… *snaps tongue* the uvulva! I’m sure of it.
Correct. Uvulva. You get 50 points. That first U makes all the difference.
It’s uvula tho
You’re that guy, today. Sorry.
I was so proud to know this obscure word off the top of my head (I’m not even sure I know it in my native language) I just had to post 😂
UwUlva
