It's a type of fish, and they are making word plays with the name of the fish. Why? I'm not sure of the origin of this one. I imagine it's like the beans or the beef stroganoff memes - the origin doesn't matter much at this point.

The English word for the fish is "sturgeon".

🎶 Like a sturgeon, caught for the very first time! 🎶

I tried my hand on one of those AI image makers... Almost got kicked off twice because apparently "like-a-virgin-era Madonna but a sturgeon" is considered inappropriate somehow.

Probably because of the word "virgin"

Also I was thinking more about "Like a surgeon" which is Weird Al's parody

No, that was the prime Minister of Scottland

First minister, only one prime minister in the UK, although they are temporary in nature, sometimes we have 3 in one summer

Just after Salmon(d). Presumably, the next one will be the well-known Scottish politician Davey Coelacanth.

I actually started with eels. Aal (=> eel) can be inserted basically everywhere by just stretching the "a" a bit, like "Aalle wissen das" instead of "Alle wissen das" (everyone knows that). As far as I know, this started (or at least became popular) via Jan Böhmermann, he had some jokes about that in his show - the same guy who wrote the "goat fucker"-poem about Erdogan that caused massive diplomatic problems and resulted in changed laws.

Wir servieren heute Aal la carte:

  • Aalgensalat
  • HopfenkaltschAale
  • Pasta Aal dente
  • KAalter Hund
  • Pizza CAalzone

Edit: This also works in english:

Something's fishy. I think Russia is trying to interfere with our Eelections

So viel Fisch gibt's nur im LokAal neben an!

[–] Luffi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I started the Aalphabet in my family. Every time we encounter a word that matches, it is added. It’s geniaal!
