Purely for my own curiosity, is it Pup-Ush, Pu-Push, or Pu-Puhsh

[–] greatmare@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Pu-Push Actually, I'd write it poupouche in French but it would sound completely different when pronounced in English so I went for the closest

Awesome, thanks! Please give Pupush a scritches from me

Ya know... you can take down the curtains as often as you'd like, yet they won't call you "curtain take-down".

You can fall off the bed every day, yet they won't call you "bed fall".

But imitate a dung beetle one time....

I love their name. Do they have a sibling named Pupull? Does the name Pupush have a special meaning?

[–] greatmare@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

From where I come from we would say "poupouche" for something cute No idea for the siblings though

Thanks for explaining. They are indeed "something cute"
