Somewhere in a Spanish-speaking rainforest, the mischievous fauna spends the day messing around with personal pronouns.🌴

@linguistgoneforeign@mastodon.social I was introduced the other day to a Norwegian children's song full of Norwegian puns involving the word "brilleslange" (spectacled cobra, but also a playground taunt for glasses-wearers). But at one point it also *possibly* mentions the singing of "billesanger", thereby implying a sort of cross-language pun: • bille = beetle • sanger = songs and therefore • billesanger = Beetles songs (But it might just be a mistake in someone's transcription of the song words.)
