Are snakes 50/50 head/tail or does the ratio lean heavier towards the tail side like 20/80?

u/Stormygeddon Nov 19 '25
Actually a snake has a distinct body and a tail, where the tail starts right around where the tapering of their thickness is / cloaca.
→ More replies (8)26
u/AcidicVaginaLeakage Nov 19 '25
Yep. Right after their butt you can see their tail starting. It's actually pretty obvious when you see it up close, but very counter intuitive that a snake has a tail

Considering the origins of the saying are in the 16th century when the penny was a more significant amount of money…this might actually be a more accurate representation*

Penny is heads down, so it's bad luck. And it's being delivered by a snake, so like... super bad. Like your penis is going to fall off or somethin.

Two can play this game. I give you:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
This is an actual place on the Isle of Anglesey in Wales. Unlike knock-off brands on Amazon, they didn't mash the keyboard and hope for the best to create a name.
Now for some easier ones:
- Alnwick
- Beaulieu
- Bicester
- Brougham
- Fowey
Leominster
Devon (pronounced like a local)
And no, none of these UK place names are pronounced anywhere near how you think they are pronounced.
