This is a visiual version of an old joke i heard.
Something about a native family son asking their father how he got his name.
So the father explained something like.
Well first we had you sister, when she was born we saw fast eagle in the sky. So we named her Fast Eagle.
Then when your mother was pregnant of your older brother she would sometimes listen to howls of distant wolves, so we named him Howling Wolf
Do you know understand how you got your name Bursted Condom?
- This isn’t true. Samuel Bath Thomas immigrated to the US in 1874 and founded his business in 1880. References to English muffins can be found as early as 1859. (Yes, this is a different Thomas.)
- Second is correct, although it leads further back to the Frankish wafla.
John Martinez, you flupping idiot.
That’s a grid pattern, not a honeycomb
Perhaps Dutch bees make square honeycomb. I’ve certainly never checked.
In the UK they’re just muffins. But so are the cake like muffins that I think come from America originally. It’s surprisingly not too confusing.
It’s usually clear from context whether you’re being offered a piece of round bread or a gluey calorie bomb that makes you feel brain-dead for eight hours
Looks more like a full blown bukkake.
in Nagasaki!
Thanks for linking to the explanation although I really didn’t need to see that right now
Sorry to be the guy with the risky click of day, but I thought Wikipedia is the grey area of NSFW linking.
You can link to a reputable dictionary instead.
When a Mommy gets down and a Daddy and a Daddy and a Daddy and a Daddy and another Daddy and yet another Daddy all decide that Mommy needs some special facial moisturizer.
ROFL 🤣
a bukkake a day keeps the doctor away. it keeps everyone away until you’ve showered.
A protein-rich baptism
I think I just got a slight chubby looking at a cartoon of a pie. That’s deeply concerning.
Waffle is also a type of fabric weave. My suspicion is that the pastry is more influenced by the fabric than by honeycombs, as honeycombs are hexagonal, but the fabric is typically square.
Presumably they’re imprecisely referring to the pattern of the weave with “honeycomb pattern”
Triaxial weaving is much more complex than biaxial, hence square waffle fabric. But there’s minimal extra effort to make a mold with hexagonal lugs for a waffle iron. If the waffle iron were directly inspired by honeycomb, one would expect to find many waffle irons with hexagonal designs. Yet square is the most common design by far, with the distant second being diamond. Even among antique irons, where you can find more ornate designs, you see floral patterns and scrollwork, but no hexagons.
Are you agreeing with me?
Yes, but I’m elaborating on my argument that waffle fabric is metaphorically like honeycomb, and waffle irons are metaphorically like waffle fabric.
Wait, so the Thomas’s English Muffin was their invention?
No, they’re much older than that, and in England they just call them "muffins " I thought maybe they coined the term “English muffin,” but apparently not:
References to English muffins appear in U.S. newspapers starting in 1859, and detailed descriptions of them and recipes were published as early as 1870.
Too far of a reach, for me. There’s no way a baker finished inseminating his bakewife and was struck with an epiphany: “what if this…but a pastry?!”
The others are (debatable) etymologies and then you flip the order to make a horny baked good. Goon appropriately; be better.

That is just a lack of imagination on your behalf mate.
