B-A-N-A-N-A-S
Again, this meme is bananas
But how bananas exactly? I need a banana for scale
What do you call a word that swipes in the shape it describes? Like an autonym but for swiping.
banananym.
Bananamatopoeia
Iβd like to buy a vowel
~~Swipeomatopoeia~~ Onomatoswipeia
Spelling it, I always feel stupid and forget when to end:
"Bana"? No, keep going...
"Bananana"? Damn!
(Paraphrased from Demetri Martin)
When all else fails, sing Gwen Stefani's Bananas song. Cannot lose.
"Nanny Ogg knew how to start spelling 'banana', but didn't know how you stopped."

Why would you want to ban Nana??
She keeps using racial slurs in team chat.
DAMMIT NANA
Now this is mildly interesting. This little tidbit will never leave my brain.
Wouldnβt be surprised if this was intentional. Same way as typewriter can be written with only the first row of letters.
...how would this be intentional?
Even though the QWERTY layout was designed so keys donβt get jammed when typing in a typewriter, it was also designed with no ergonomics in mind, and some decisions are questionable.
For example, the word typewriter is typed using letters from the top row only because of a design decision.
So, AS A JOKE, Iβm saying that they also intentionally designed the layout so when typing βbananaβ, a banana would be drawn.
You ever try swiping on a typewriter?
you haven't?
So, AS A JOKE,
You can't fool us
Step one: banana
