I am a designer based in San Francisco, and I love to doodle during my spare time. I hear many words that amuse me during the day, not sure why, but they are just too funny. Perhaps it's a combination of being easily amused and having English as a second language. In any case, it's a good method to escape our sad pandemic reality and deal with stress.

For example, when my mother mentioned she is doing "intermittent fasting," an image of a person putting a mitten over their head popped into my mind. Then when I heard "thumb drive," I saw an actual human thumb driving a car. Same with "Bluetooth" (my daughter was asking why someone came up with this name?) - in my head, I saw an actual blue tooth transmitting Wi-Fi from a mouth.

I usually write down funny words, and when I have some free time, I grab my iPad and quickly draw it. My goal is to create a new drawing every day, and I have been sharing them on my Instagram.

I really enjoyed drawing this, and I hope you’ll find these amusing too! Here are the links to my previous posts if you missed them (I, II).

Well, Bluetooth is named after Danish King Harald Blåtand, who might have indeed had a blue (or rather darkened) tooth.

This is literally not a pun. It's exactly what Bluetooth is named for.

    That's a pretty good depiction of the German word which is "Stachelschwein" --> Stachel = spike, Schwein = pig

    "Porcupine" comes from French meaning "spiny pig"

    I find it weird they aren’t both in the same place. Like either pick an intimate place for each... or do the stomach for each. I’m not trying to be weird. I just get creepy vibes from this.
