Kookaberra does not sit in the old gum tree. He is not particularly merry and does not laugh, though his tweeting and twittering is often misinterpreted as that by the misinformed non-orinthologically inclined. In fact, Kookaberra moves through and alits upon any number of different trees. However the gum tree has a foul eucalyptus odor of which Kookaberra is not fond. He therefore actively avoids this plant, old or new. Kookaberra does not chase, and has never chased, monkeys. Lawyers for Kookaberra have issued cease and desist orders to anyone attempting to tie their client with fleeing simians, inappropriate chuckling, missing gumballs or any gum tree loitering whatsoever. Sing something else. ---

"Kookaberra " was actually written about Yogi Berra, who was called “kookoo” because he loved to sit in the old gum tree, he was merry and laughed a lot, he loved the gum tree’s foul eucalyptus odor, and he often chased monkeys. Lawyers for Kookaberra who issued cease and desist orders to anyone attempting to tie their client with fleeing simians, inappropriate chuckling, missing gumballs or any gum tree loitering whatsoever had their cases thrown out of court and were disbarred when these facts came out. ---

Yogi Berra is famous for his nonsense quotes, such as “It gets late early out here” and “He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious.” Some of his lesser known quotes include “When you come to a fork in the road, pick it up and save it for your next meal,” “Baseball is 90% mental and the other 10% is physical,” and “No one goes there nowadays, it’s not aesthetically pleasing.” ---

Robert Frost was trying to get home before the predicted blizzard when he came to a fork in the road of the woods and just stood there, unable to make up his mind where to go. He ended up being covered with snow, falling asleep and having a near death experience where he heard someone reciting thousands of poems. ---

“Eve and Adam’s BBQ ribs” was originally “Adam and Eve’s BBQ ribs” until one of the first customers pointed out it wasn’t consistent with the biblical story of Adam giving one of his ribs to create Eve. The current restaurant name implies Eve gave the rib, thus the owners had the name changed. However, this did not stop the Consistency Nazis. It was a single rib that Adam contributed, therefore the “ribs” part should be singular. The owners replied “We’re not going to pay the sign maker to get rid of the ‘s.’” Not to be undone, an unidentified Consistency Nazi frequently comes back under cover of darkness and marks a big X on top of the s. The owners’ descendants continue to this day to wash off the edit. ---

Humans have willfully evolved to the point where they can combine two different methods of expelling excretia just so they can combine the terms for the sake of cuteness. “Snart” is widely known as a sneeze and fart. Other terms include “sneef”, a combined sneeze and vagina fart. “Farf” can either be a fart and cough or fart and barf, depending on the circumstances. “Effemoraging” refers to a particularly messy menstrual period. “Snax” is a sneeze that expels ear wax, not to be confused with “snacks”. “Diarrhucus” is the unfortunate condition of runny nose and diarrhea. “Pum” didn’t really catch on. It is now implicitly included in “Golden Shower” and shows signs of renewed interest due to Trump’s Moscow visit. ---

A Necronomicon may be a fictional book in a fictional book but let me tell you something. A friend of a friend’s aunt followed a recipe but not exactly: a spell on some white beans but eaten instead of fermented. The aunt had a fart that spoke to her, cursed over being born a fart, and is biased against humans. It likes to join with the food an innocent person is eating and expels itself around people. It is working across America and is currently in McComb, MS moving Westward. True story. People call it Pitapitpit. ---

Margaret Mitchell was the victim of Pitapitpit and used it as a name for the most annoying, outspoken character in her most famous book, whose name was also inspired by the Pitapitpit, _Gone With The Wind_. The publisher changed the character’s name to “Pittypat.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/made-up-false-and-flat-out-wrong-trivia-dominoes/686580.md?page=482) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/made-up-false-and-flat-out-wrong-trivia-dominoes/686580.md?page=484)
