This one’s for my Aussie friends, @Bellatrix and @rooeytoo, even if they are transplants: :-)
I was thinking about what a fun word marsupials is to say, with each female having a marsupium; fun to say also, and then thought about how many of the marsupials have such great names also:
Kangaroo
Wallaby
Wallaroo
Bandicoot
Dibbler
Poteroo
Quokka
Koala
Woylie
Numbat
The Boodie, a.k.a. the “Burrowing Bettong”
Or in Tasmania, with their:
Tasmanian Pigmy Possums
Just saying “Tasmanian” or “Tasmania” is fun but along with “pigmy possum,” that’s icing on the cake.
and last but not least:
Wombat
That’s a fun word and also a word that is sure of itself.
There is no question that when you have said “Wombat” that you could have said anything else.
I would move to Australia just so I could have an excuse to say all these words more often.
