    This meme is incorrect. A botatist would have names like:

    “Little bastard who ate my Alyssum maritimum”

    “Fucker who at the flower buds on my Forsythia europea”

    “Little shithead who dug up my Lathyrus odoratus”

      Correct. Also,

      “Poops seeds of…”

      “Nests in…”

    Studied Ichthyology in the early 2000’s and will never forget how much of my A&P coursework was on birds. And how the lab TAs were not at all impressed when I just called them all air fish.

      This reminds me of how Stephen Jay Gould concluded that there’s no such thing as a fish.

        There’s also no such thing as a tree. Tree is a survival strategy, not a biological classification.

        P.S. If you haven’t listened to the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast by the QI elves, you’re missing out.

    I feel like even a botanist would know a seagull because their assholery is so epic. The seagull’s assholery, not the botanists’, that is.

      Yeah, but don’t give them the credit. I’ll never forgive them for shitting on me that one time (botanists that is…)

    I call them pretty birds, unless I’m calling them a little fucker, and that’s because it’s a chickadee that won’t hold still for 2 goddamn seconds so I can get a photo
