What does the fox say?
I ask because I actually do not know the answer --- are foxes one of those animals that emits a human-like scream? I have a vague memory of learning something like this. One student confirmed: "It sounds like children crying and is super creepy."
Many people answered with onomatopoeia or other sounds:
- ahhhhhhhh!
- moo
- ughh
- screaming in the Crum
- WA WA WA WA WA WA WA WA WA WA WA WA WA WA WA
- meow
- ring ding ding ding ding ga ding
- "..."
- qwak
- bleh
- oo
- wah
- nati nati nati noo
- QUACK!
... of which my clear favorite is the callback reference that foxes make "Bluth family chicken noises" (reference).
Then there were the replies that suggest the fox can speak (sometimes at length):
- noooooooooooooo
- I'm sleepy
- suhhh, dude
- bird
- Hello I am a fox
- stop talking about me
Then there were the editorial answers, describing what the fox says rather than rendering what the fox says:
- nothing
- It's Monday, the fox is still sleeping
- Too much annoying stuff
- Isn't there a song about this?
- This song was way too popular
- I disagree. This song was not popular enough and we should bring it back.
This post's theme word is bombilate, "to make a humming or buzzing noise." The fox snuck up on me without bombilating! -- how is that even possible?
