it’s pronounced kneesh, but I’m willing to overlook it for the sake of a meme. You may ask, ‘will you die on that hill?’ and I’ll reply “some will”.

I am confused, do you think niche rhymes with bitch?
Velypso@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
It is commonly pronounced that way in the US, imo both pronunciations are correct.

Maybe it’s partly regional, but growing up it was always “nitch”. Like “Tom has really found his (nitch).” It only seems to have been making the transition to “neesh” in the last 10 years or so and it still sounds off to me.

Female dogs are called beeshes?

What else do you call a female Bichon?

So, this can’t just be a Hellsing Ultimate Abridged reference, right? There’s an underlying reference I’m just not aware of?

Fun Fact, pictured above appears to be a goat on a mountain, which is NOT a Mountain Goats because Mountain Goats are not goats. Mountain Goats are Antellopes.

That’s not a goat, that the GOAT.

I got genuinely curious about this goat, so here’s the name: Markhor

That’s cool and all, but I’m cheering for the mountain. Geology rocks!

One of the most disappointing facts when learning English was how many different animals are just called goat or deer

like pronghorn antelope, is not an antelope at all, its antilocarpine, sister to the giraffe family. or the american cheetah, is actually a suped up puma relative.

It’s a common thing. German loves to call animals pigs or dogs; though it tends to be more obvious that these “thorn pigs” and “sea dogs” aren’t actually related to regular pigs and dogs.
