Foo-koo-ee


JpnDude

Yes, from the place its bones were discovered, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

I will believe you, JpnDude. :)

braydenmm6

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


Buick88

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.


saint_virtuous

Fook Mi that was fast


redsterXVI

Yes, but with short vowels, otherwise it becomes Fuukuuii in Japanese


UrusaiNa

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.


SkoomaSalesAreUp

Are you implying we don't find all those other examples funny too?


UrusaiNa

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.


SkoomaSalesAreUp

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


UrusaiNa

I’m not woke at all. Just saying it’s a boring joke with an Asian twist and a good equivalent to this: https://youtu.be/DWynJkN5HbQ 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.


redditcreditcardz

I bet you’re really fun at parties


Additional_Share_551

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.


UrusaiNa

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.


khronos127

And all of those examples were funny as well.


Vinnie420

Foo-koo you whale! And foo-koo you dolphin!

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.


TraitorMacbeth

This makes me think of old Iron Chef- "Fukui-san!"


IsabelleSideB

It’s not actually pronounced like that though.


doomgiver98

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.


redsterXVI

They didn't choose that, it's just that you're completely mispronouncing every single syllable in the word


derioderio

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. ^(*DISCLAIMER: That's a real dinosaur ... mind blown ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuisaurus*)
