Or a coat of arms.
This is the place for my joke!
Did you hear about the man with five penises?
His pants fit LIKE A GLOVE!
There is no suitable place for an Octopus to wear either pants or a skirt. Octopuses are almost entirely made of face. There is no torso, no waist, no lower body. We call the appendages around the mouth “arms” (not “legs”) but they are more analogous to prehensile whiskers. I think they would be more likely to wear a cap or headband. A balaclava would be interesting.
An octopus with a helmet would be unstoppable
Why the fuck would octopuses have to wear clothes?! Come to think of it… why do humans have to wear clothes?
If that’s the reason why are you doing it in summer?
If you say protection from sun, how about warm cloudy day?
wait - read your comment properly, but you can still get sunburned on a cloudy day.
Well, thousands of years ago my ancestors came into this place for some fucking reason, and noticed that being naked and hairless means you’re cold at almost all times, save for a few exceptionally warm days in the summer, and in summer, you’d get sunburn or skin cancer, and be covered in ticks and mosquito stings.
They decided to fix their furlessness by wearing the furs they got from the animals they ate, and later discovered spinning, weaving, and sewing. As time went on, being naked became a taboo, and thus people kept wearing clothes even in occasions that don’t require it.
And clothes do tend to have meaning beyond just protecting you from the cold and the sun and bugs. Style and social status.
England would still force them to change into trousers on the mainland.
?
…when a Scot wearing a kilt travelled to the mainland, they’d have to change into trousers, There’s changerooms still standing along the coast…
That’s fucked up…
octopodes
or octopi,I mean octopuses is correct too, but less fun
octopi is wrong because octopus is Greek and not latin
Yeah but we’re using English which doesn’t follow Greek spelling rules.
Also, this.
And that’s why octopuses is correct. Octopi is not a derivation of octopus nor do we use “i” as a plural ending in English.
Sure we do, on occasion anyway. Cacti, fungi, alumni, syllabi, loci, foci, radii, moduli, stimuli, uteri, papyri, nuclei, termini.
Language isn’t about being “correct”, as there’s no truly objective standard. Rather, it’s about being understood. But I guess you didn’t watch that video.
