ChaoticMissAdventures @AmyG same that is the first thought that pops into my head when someone says wombat! 3d
julesG @ChaoticMissAdventures pops or poops? 🤣🤣🤣 3d
lil1inblue I know not one, but TWO people whose parents almost named them Wombat. One was female, and would have been Wombat had she been a boy, and the other was a boy whose Mom overruled his Dad and went with Cory instead of Wombat. This cartoon adds a whole new level of hilarity to that. 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures @julesG the poop pops into my head 🤣😂🤣 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures @lil1inblue this is absolutely WILD. I wonder how many other animals people were almost named after. "Hi dad meet my boyfriend Giraffe!" ? 3d
Ruthiella That link is delightful. 😂😂😂Thank you! 3d
CBee @lil1inblue you‘ve got to be kidding me 😂😂😂 I am very happy for those kids who are NOT named wombat 😂 3d
CBee @ChaoticMissAdventures and here‘s my girlfriend, Hippo 😂 3d
CBee @Ruthiella I‘ve shared it with so many people! I never get tired of it 😂 3d
lil1inblue @CBee They did bond over their mutual near-misses, and they became good friends. But both were quite glad they were not actually named Wombat. 🤣🤣🤣 3d
CarolynM I‘m very glad the people you know didn‘t get named Wombat. Calling someone that in Australia has a rude meaning that I am sure their parents would not have intended😆 3d
CBee @lil1inblue thank goodness. Can you imagine? School would‘ve been a nightmare! 3d
CBee @CarolynM oooo. I‘m intrigued about this rude meaning 🫣😂 3d

Not new to me, but it may be new to you: Wombats poop square poops! The wombat is one of my favorite animals. Here is some more (new) info for you: Wombats have an extra bony plate on their butts that they can use to crush & kill predators by slamming it up against the predator's neck/head as they're pursuing the wombat into its hole. Yes, wombats live in underground burrows. 😊 #whatsnewwednesday @alwasybeenaloverofbooks @read4life @tiedyedude

Read4life Definitely new to me! 😄 2y
lil1inblue Fun fact: I knew TWO people in high school that were almost named Wombat. 🤣 2y

WildAlaskaBibliophile @lil1inblue “almost“?! Wow, lol! I'd love to hear the story behind that! 2y
lil1inblue @WildAlaskaBibliophile My BFF would have been Wombat if she had been a boy. And I'm not sure why my other friend ended up as Cory instead of Wombat, but knowing his parents, I suspect his Mom vetoed Wombat. It was his nickname, though! So strange that there were 2 people in the same class, though! 2y
WildAlaskaBibliophile @lil1inblue 😃 That's amazing! 2y
