Thank you

Based on width, it’s covering two letters, so it’s probably “cluck”. So, get yourself a chicken.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I feel like this is pretty obvious.

No particular reason, but which rapid transit system is this? I know it isn’t the DC Metro; NYC Subway? London Underground?
mortalblade@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
is nyc
cattywampas@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s not Chicago. Kinda looks like NYC but I can’t confirm.

Last time this was posted I thought “crack”.
I thought it was an ad for a chiropractor.
Crack can always ease the pain.
Also works if you smoke crack.

A big fat chick obviously!
nroth@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Lmao I remember seeing those from that angle too. I think that ad hasn’t been up for awhile though (someone at the firm probably noticed)

We’ll it’s definitely not “cheque”.
TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
look folks. It can’t be “cock” because the word is to long to be one
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
For me it causes pain? Am I doing it wrong?

This wouldn’t happen if y’all spelt cheque correctly.
FishFace@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
The etymology of cheque and the reason it’s spelled that way is wonderful. Cheques are so called because they were a check on fraud (compared to an IOU anyway). That meaning of check comes from what you say in chess when you endanger the opponent’s king, and this comes from the Persian word for king, Shah. (The “h” is pronounced, and became a hard “k” sound in English).
The same game gave its name to the checkerboard. That kind of board was used in medieval England for the royal accounts or Exchequer. Like many things royal it retained more of its French roots in its spelling. In British English, when the word “check” (spelled that way) was applied to the financial instrument, the financial association ended up lending the French spelling to monetary cheques. But Americans didn’t call their treasury an exchequer and if they had they probably would’ve spelled it wrong anyway - so they had no reason to do the same thing, and here we are.
