I believe Psychoticpotato is referencing a phenomena wherein "baba" is generally easier for a baby to say, than either "dada" or even "mama" & it also happens to sound a bit like "bottle"; ergo, it's often one's 'first word'.

Oi, why was my transcript deleted? 172.69.134.64 21:52, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

It’s been restored. Maybe pop a message to Apollo11 if you want an explanation from him? 42.book.addictTalk to me! 23:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
I am so sorry. My phone glitched and "resent the form", which told the wiki page that my previous edit (from a couple hours prior) was the most current edit. I didn't notice. I apologize Apollo11 (talk) 16:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

The comic may have been inspired by the Ologies podcast episode on mnemologie part one posted on December the fourth. There Dr. Michael Yassa exblains the effect. 162.158.111.86 (talk) 00:57, 17 December 2024 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

About the phrase 'as can the sound of the word "water" itself [being "soft and round"]' - "Water" is a mix, the beginning and end are "soft/round" but the middle is quite "hard/sharp." 172.71.170.109 15:01, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Depends. It's only fairly sharp in my accent, and virtually gone in other dialectical variations. And even at its 'hardest', it can be likened to the pitter-pat of rain on a surface (hard surface, yes, but much 'softer' rain). 172.69.43.182 17:59, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

I think that this also relates to a nonsense shape theory (ex, the bouba kiki theory, to be exact) but I'm not entirely sure... A dream demon (talk) 15:16, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

I don't know if you trying to say exactly what (part of) the article already says, or something different that I don't understand. 172.69.43.182 17:59, 17 December 2024 (UTC)
I have no idea what I'm saying either 🫠 A dream demon (talk) 21:22, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Does Bouba also have a delivery service? ProphetZarquon (talk) 18:55, 17 December 2024 (UTC)


Hey, uhh... so I've just gone down a very very very long and dark and also very sad XKCD rabbit hole at midnight even though tomorrow I've got like 4 tests, so I'm just gonna hurry this up. Number of frames in "Time" (comic 1190): 3094. Number of comics today: 3025. I wonder what will happen for comic 3094. Maybe he's been saving his special comic for 3094. I don't know. But maybe, just maybe, something waits there. Sorry, I just had to get this thing off my chest. Also, yes, I know it's unlikely. But the number is so close. Wait for it...

How does bo'o'oh'wa'er measure in this scale? 172.70.47.94 12:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

A kiki is also something a Scissor Sister would like to have. These Are Not The Comments You Are Looking For (talk) 02:30, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
