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'.

Thanks Randall, I hate it. 😊 Caliban (talk) 18:07, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

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)

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)

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