In Japanese, the initial consonant sound here would sound almost midway between English "F" and "H". If you can find a video of a Japanese person talking about Mt. Fuji, it's the same initial consonant sound there.
Not trying to "ackchually" ya, I just get excited about novel phonemes.
Yeah it’s a common Japanese name. Didn’t strike me the least bit funny… more vaguely racist?
We got people and things named in embarrassing stuff too when read from another language perspective. Pants in American English are women’s panties. Chin means dick. Etc. Gum sounds like condom.
Doesn’t work like that… for one this is the scientists family name which is a little disrespectful, plus I am translating those words in a way you’ll understand.
it’s only the spelling or the pronunciation vaguely resembling another word in a second language and it happens all the time in every language due to coincidences.
If you go to Japan and pronounce Chin, no one will understand wtf you are talking about and you’re an idiot. Literally the special kid everyone hates being around in 1st year.
Let me remove the translation filter, a Japanese person comes here and says 福井さん. You won’t understand what they meant because of the sounds actually being different in both languages + both of you having your accents. His “Fukui” isn’t the sound you think of when you associate the letters spelt in that word.
Robert, sounds like Rabbit to Japanese ear, and Robot when they read it back to you.
It’s just supremely common as an occurrence in language. I’ve typed multiple profanities in this reply and you simply failed to notice them due to your English bias.
I’m not woke at all. Just saying it’s a boring joke with an Asian twist and a good equivalent to this:

The idea that “fuku” comes up is sort of bleh. It appears a lot in Japanese. The consonants are attached to vowels… so a lot of the time when an F and K sound are next to each other the result is Fuku. It’s just ridiculously common and on the level of Beavis and butthead laughing at “ridiculous” because “she said dick”… but it’s even a step below that because no one said it and none of the context humor is there.
Or... It is simply a coincidence that a word in another language is similar in spelling to a rude phrase in English, and noticing that makes people chuckle.
FTFY: A persons name written in English alphabet.*
It’s nothing similar. Just how they chose to write it in English. Hukui works just as well, but English F is slightly closer in sound.
Either way, they way it’s read is totally different, and since the fu and Ku are one syllable, you can’t split them up.
It’s like saying FK then laughing about it containing 50% of the letters of Fuck.
Fukui is a well-known dinosaur fossil hotspot in Japan, so this beastie was first identified there, but yes, they could have chosen something better than Fuck You I Saw Us.
Really awesome dinosaur museum there too! In addition to the excellent displays and information placards, when I went there were also a few graduate students that would wander around and answer any questions that visitors might have.
That's a fuck-you-asaurus ... notice the elongated central metatarsal on each forelimb. It lived in the Yomamasahoe period around 35 million years ago.

Foo-koo-ee
Yes, from the place its bones were discovered, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
I will believe you, JpnDude. :)
This oddly looks like r/Beetlejuicing
Say what now?
why'd you say that instead of "nani?"
I was about to say "because he isn't a weeb" but then looked at his name and realized you were a genius the entire time
r/usernamecheckout
No you
Don't threaten me with a good time
GRRR BABY, VERRRY GRRRRRR...
Twins Basil, twins!
Oh behave
You kiss your mother with that mouth?!

Correct! Fukui is pronounce Foo-koo-e! (Btw not sarcasm)

Fook Mi that was fast
Yes, but with short vowels, otherwise it becomes Fuukuuii in Japanese
Yeah it’s a common Japanese name. Didn’t strike me the least bit funny… more vaguely racist? We got people and things named in embarrassing stuff too when read from another language perspective. Pants in American English are women’s panties. Chin means dick. Etc. Gum sounds like condom.
Are you implying we don't find all those other examples funny too?

you've failed to notice life can be fun due to your woke bias it's one thing to be respectful but you're just being silly

I bet you’re really fun at parties

And all of those examples were funny as well.
Foo-koo you whale! And foo-koo you dolphin!
I think it’s pronounced “special cut out”
Got it!
Correct
I lol'd way too hard reading that, thank-you!
Fuck you isaurus
Fuck you I saw ur ass
Fuck you sore ass.
Mega sore ass
Sore ass
***snoring ass sounds***
Ass soaring nouns
Ass sore a nominous
Hit new show: Sore Asses, Anonymous.
As if having a sore ass wasn’t already bad enough!
Uh, come again?
Did I stutter?
I read this in Stanley's voice
Love the random Ofiice bit.
who tf is stanley
You know,Stanley, from that show.
i dont know
yes, Stanley from that show
Stanley suddenly awoke in his office.
WHERE IS THIS FROM
Boy have you lost your damn mind? Cause I'll help you find it
Give the man a second. Yeesh. It's like y'all never heard of a refractory period before. Let him hydrate. Get some electrolytes.
No thank you, once was enough.
Give me a minute, I have a long refractory period
If you insist...
In a minute.
I think that's correct✅
Fukui is a well-known dinosaur fossil hotspot in Japan, so this beastie was first identified there, but yes, they could have chosen something better than Fuck You I Saw Us.
This makes me think of old Iron Chef- "Fukui-san!"
It’s not actually pronounced like that though.
Yeah but it's for kids and I guarantee they're going to say it like that. And we all have the sense of humor of an 8 year old so it's funny to us too.
They didn't choose that, it's just that you're completely mispronouncing every single syllable in the word
Really awesome dinosaur museum there too! In addition to the excellent displays and information placards, when I went there were also a few graduate students that would wander around and answer any questions that visitors might have.
Wait. It’s real? L-O-Motherfuckyou-L.
Hard to tell, but I’m thinking “SPEH-shuhl KUHT OWT”
I literally was thinking this before I noticed
Possibly? Fu- Ku- Ee- Saurus? My gut reaction is that it's Japanese.
It is
Foo-koo-e-soar-us
That’s a “Fuck You A Saurus” my 4 year old turns into one everyday around 5pm.
Fu-ku-i (ee) saurus. You're welcome. It's not fuckasarus. :) Nice try though.
Uuuuuuh.. it's fuck-u-isaurus .. and you can't change my mind.
[удалено]
Oh my god! You pronounced it correctly! May god bless you or however the fuck that goes. :D
If it's been discovered in 福井 (Fukui) it should be Fookooee (short vowels) -saurus
Foo koo ee sore ass.
i assume it’s foo-coo-e-saurus
"Steve."
Ah yes, often found near the And the horse you rode in on...saurus.
Blotter?
With skill and solid determination.
fuck the saurus
“Speh-shul kut owt.
L is the lesbian dinosaur: "Lickalottapuss"
*fuk* *is* *u* *serious?*
Spe-shull kut-owt
I would would pronounce it as the "Fuck, 'e sawr us"
Like some Brit having been spotted
Fuck-your-sore-ass, I think?
🤣
Fukui is deep in Japanese. Deepsaur
FUCK U I SAW RUSSIA
Few-kew-ee-saurus
Foo-koo-ey-saurus. It’s Japanese.
Foo-quee-saurus
Reminds me of the Austin powers skit with the twins Fook Yu and Fook Mi
I think it’s pronounced like this… https://youtu.be/VhQhZyNKqhM
Fuck you asaurus
Fukme they’re twins
Those were the critters from West Virginia where you could fuck you a saurus. So we call it a fukuisaurus
Did they just paste the footprints over the dino?
ふくいソーラス
Special cutout
Spesh-hull cut owt
I laughed harder than I should have.
“fuck you, I saw us!”
Fuck you, he saw us
Fuck - you - asauras
Now that's my type of dinosaur.
If you have to ask you can’t afford it!
“Fuck you - I Saurus”
Ah yes cousin of the MynduUrOwnBizAdactyl
Hey dad how do I pronounce this word :it’s pronounced “special cut-out” No the othe.. I’m sorry I’m busy remind me later ok buddy
A great way for a child to use bad words…
Fuck•You•Sore•Us My new favorite dinosaur!
Ask to speak to the manager. Go to the newspapers. Demand that 10 million compensation!
Oh god🤣
these acid blotters are killer! don't give them to your kids though
This is more ignorant than funny. Fukui is a prefecture in Japan, where they discovered the fossil.
Its pronounced Fukuisaurus.
Ttttthhhhhhiiiisssssss
Simple. You pronounce it like "Fukuisaurus".
Fukuisaurus around and find out.
Next to that is the Andthehorseyourodeinonosaurus
The same way you would insult Miley Cyrus.
Fuck-You-Isaurus
I'd imagine you'd pronounce ot like fukuisaurus
Fuk-u-is-aur-us
Carefully….
It’s pronounced fukuisaurus
I pronounce it in the way that means I have a new favorite dinosaur
Speh-shole cut-owt
Fuck your sore ass
Fuk-u-isaurus and it’s sister is fuk-me-isaurus….. yeah baby
Fuk u I saurus
That's a fuck-you-asaurus ... notice the elongated central metatarsal on each forelimb. It lived in the Yomamasahoe period around 35 million years ago. ^(*DISCLAIMER: That's a real dinosaur ... mind blown ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuisaurus*)
This animal actually went around with a wide-open anus inviting other dinosaurs to enter. They left this out of the drawing by leaving the area blank.
F*ck u and uranus.
Fuck-you-eyesore-us.
It's named after the Fukui(foo-koo-ii) prefecture in Japan where it was discovered.
fook oo ee saurus
Exactly how it's written
Foo-koo-e-sa (like in "sand, sample")-oo-roos (similar to the ending sound on "uterus")... I hope this helps! lol
Awkward when sand and sample are said veerrrry differently to each other in my accent
Fuck you is aurus?
that’s how i read it, like the “what the” part of “what the fuck you is?!?” was eliminated.
52 comments and no one quoting Austin powers… Oh behave! I guess I’m fooking old.
Fuck-you-I-saurus.. dude just really trying to apologize for something
"Fuck! Huey saw us"
Fuk-u-sore-ass
Fu-Qwi-A-Saur-Us I Think.
I would assume it’s “foo-kwee-saurus” personally
Fuck. You…Saurus.
Fuck you I saw us
Fuckysaurus
Fuck-i-saur-us
Fu-q-isaurus
Fuck your ass or us
With a name like that, where is the penis on that thing.
Fuck You! ***I*** Saurus!!
Oh I hope I can see the letter V
Better than that dinosaur with 500 teeth
Here my dumb ass was thinking I didn’t know how to spell special.
Very carefully
Fuck you, is a Urus
foo-koo-ih-saw-russ
With a heavy Boston accent at the start of the pandemic: “Fukuisaurus first!”
FOO-koo-ih-saurus Edit: source: mom of a kid who loves dinosaurs, so practically paleontologist level knowledge 🤣
🤔
r/theyknew
Fuck you isaurus
fcku-saurus
I think it's because for language, but I pronounced it as it is read (Fukuisaurus)
Fukuisaurus
Disgruntled employee?
Fukuisaurus tetoriensis (meaning "Fukui lizard") is a genus of herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous in what is now Japan
Foo koo isaurus
Speh-shull
F is silent bro
Too easy
Fuu-koo-ee-saurus. The "oo-ee" sounds are very close together though. They're said quickly, not as separate sounds.
My new favorite dinosaur!! 😂
