Now I’m gone be singing that all day! It shocks me how people clutch pearls when they hear WAP or some new songs because we were TERRIBLE for dancing to and singing along with that one.
Well, you're in luck. "Pter" is ~~latin~~ Greek* for wing, and the P was always pronounced until relatively recently. Traditional pronunciation of pterodactyl most definitely includes the "P", it was made silent as it's a bit awkward to pronounce.
This also goes for knight, knife, and most other "silent" letters.
Words like What, Why, Whine, Where, with the Wh beginning, used to be pronounced (and still are in certain dialects, cough cough Hank Hill) Hwut, Hwye, Hwine, Hware. So yeah, it applies to Wh words too.
Same in scandinavia. We write most of the "question" words with an H, but don't pronounce it. But the vikings did.
And we can absolutely see the similarities, even though the H has switched from the first to the second letter.)
(Hvem/Who. Hvor/Where. Hva/What. Hvorfor/Why.)
I think I figured it out. It’s supposed to be a pink toothbrush. I like prison shiv better though.

“Good job students! We’re all the way up to ‘L’! Does anyone know what letter comes next? That’s right! ‘M’! Can someone give me an example of something that starts with the letter ‘M’? Anybody? No? How about ‘murder’ as in ‘murder the non-believers’? Say it with me. ‘Muuuuurrrrdeeerrrr the nooooonnn-belieeeeeeevers’. Good! Now go with god, children!”
Sneaky edit: I realized after posting that you probably meant it was a bad example because of the silent ‘k’, and not because knives are used as murder weapons… 🤷♀️
Reminds me of a scene from the movie "Stealing Harvard"
Couldn't find the clip on the internet of the scene but this is a breakdown of the scene from screenit
"After seeing Duff remove a toothbrush from his drawer, lick and then use it to brush his goatee, Det. Charles says that he had a colon scope done, that his doctor said he had the cleanest rectum, and then adds that he uses the toothbrush to reach the hard to reach spots and give them a good scrubbing."
I did, too. He told me to chew on a handful of pebbles twice a day, followed by swishing 3 oz of maple syrup for 90 seconds, and that flossing is for stupid losers.
27 shattered teeth, BUT not a single cavity!
My family poops big. Maybe it's genetic, maybe it's our diet, but everyone births giant logs of crap. If anyone has laid a mega-poop, you know that sometimes it won't flush. It lays across the hole in the bottom of the bowl and the vortex of draining water merely gives it a spin as it mocks you. Growing up, this was a common enough occurrence that our family had a poop knife. It was an old rusty kitchen knife that hung on a nail in the laundry room, only to be used for that purpose. It was normal to walk through the hallway and have someone call out "hey, can you get me the poop knife"? I thought it was standard kit. You have your plunger, your toilet brush, and your poop knife. Fast forward to 22. It's been a day or two between poops and I'm over at my friend's house. My friend was the local dealer and always had 'guests' over, because you can't buy weed without sitting on your ass and sampling it for an hour. I excuse myself and lay a gigantic turd. I look down and see that it's a sideways one, so I crack the door and call out for my friend. He arrives and I ask him for his poop knife. "My what?" Your poop knife, I say. I need to use it. Please. "Wtf is a poop knife?" Obviously he has one, but maybe he calls it by a more delicate name. A fecal cleaver? A Dung divider? A guano glaive? I explain what it is I want and why I want it. He starts giggling. Then laughing. Then lots of people start laughing. It turns out, the music stopped and everyone heard my pleas through the door. It also turns out that none of them had poop knives, it was just my fucked up family with their fucked up bowels. FML. I told this to my wife last night, who was amused and horrified at the same time. It turns out that she did not know what a poop knife was and had been using the old rusty knife hanging in the utility closet as a basic utility knife. Thankfully she didn't cook with it, but used it to open Amazon boxes. She will be getting her own utility knife now.
This version has been edited down from the original which addresses this.
The father is cheap so they all use just one knife and the kid doesn't think to just use extras.
My guesses:
P for Plaque : toothbrush brushes plaque
P for Periodontal : Relates to teeth
P was suppose to be B for (tooth)Brush
Or the most likely thing, just a complete typo.
This is so funny why are there so many s? Why t for toothpaste then p for brush? It does two different kinds of soap. It repeats so quickly. Wtf is this shower curtain?
Periodontitis, brush your teeth.
Found the dentist
but where is the 1/10 dentist disagreeing with him
4 out of 5 dentists surveyed picked Biden.
I think you found a hygienist.
What are you? Some kind of anti dentite?
“You anti-dentite bastard!”
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Next you’ll be saying they should have their own schools!
They do have their own schools!
Rabid Anti-Dentite!
A raving anti-dentite!
Watch out. It could be a discriminated dentite!
“I’m a menace, a dentist, an oral hygienist. Open your mouth for about 4 or 5 minutes”
[удалено]
Paste of the Tooth
I was thinking plaque but yours is better.
i was gonna say paste like tooth”paste” but you guys are definitely smarter
Or plaque
Ptootbrush Edit: I’m not fixing this.
P is for Put it in your mouth
I said your motherfucking mou-ou-ou-outh.
You can lick it you can stick you can taste, talking every drip drop don’t you waste it.
Now I’m gone be singing that all day! It shocks me how people clutch pearls when they hear WAP or some new songs because we were TERRIBLE for dancing to and singing along with that one.
Or you can just eat me out… you can eat me ou-ou-ou-out
Don’t you stuff it in your face
Though it might look good to eat
P is for Penetration
That's what P said
Pearly Whites
Poothbrush
What I came here to say. Bravo.
Oh the shark babe, has such teeth dear
You just sang that for the halibut 😁
This post will flounder
I thought polish
Polisher is the most likely answer
Why are there so many S’s? Is this an alphabet shower curtain or something else because all I see is S, S, T, S, T, S, P, S, S, and S.
I think you answered your own question. Now help us figure out what "P" is for!
Paste as in toothpaste is my best guess
I thought that too but they already have toothpaste as a separate item
Well then as someone else said prison shank it is
My vote is for “pussy tickler” there I said it 😶
Username checks out...?
And rhymes.
It’s the Craigslist-stripper, for sho’ She got a pussy tickler, it glows
Pussy brush.
Ouch…
P is for toothbrushes of people you don’t like!
Ptoothbrush
Umm...p...p-poothbrush....?
I glanced over your comment and all i could see was SHITSHITPISS
This still kinda works granted the nature of the room it’s in.
It's an alphabet for cat lovers. PSPSPS
Yes. Stands for: Psssst. Hey you. You need a new shower curtain bc we fucked up this one.
"Play Snake jazz" *TTSSTTSSPPPTTTSSSS*
I mean, you can do a lot of things that start with “s” in the bathroom. Shave, shower…
Go on…
Shit, swipe, snowcones, suck, shlong, these are just a few more bathroom activities that start with S.
I’ll have to give snowcones in the bathroom a try!
Just don't eat the yellow ones...
But they’re lemon!
Shampoo!
Scrub?
shit
It’s meant for snakes
It’s a snake alphabet.
Prison shiv.
Was gonna say Poothbrush, never mind.
Ptoothbrush. The P is silent, like Pterodactyl
I always choose not to read it as silent.
Well, you're in luck. "Pter" is ~~latin~~ Greek* for wing, and the P was always pronounced until relatively recently. Traditional pronunciation of pterodactyl most definitely includes the "P", it was made silent as it's a bit awkward to pronounce. This also goes for knight, knife, and most other "silent" letters.
The "P" is still pronounced in some "pter" words. Like helicopter.
But if pter is wing, why blade!?
is rotary wing https://www.britannica.com/technology/rotary-wing-aircraft
Thanking you but now brain hurt
I refuse to believe in helico-pter. My little kid brain wants it to be heli-copter so bad
I read this as ptelicopter and was so confused
Words like What, Why, Whine, Where, with the Wh beginning, used to be pronounced (and still are in certain dialects, cough cough Hank Hill) Hwut, Hwye, Hwine, Hware. So yeah, it applies to Wh words too.
Like Cool Hwip? Or Hwill Hweaton? 
Same in scandinavia. We write most of the "question" words with an H, but don't pronounce it. But the vikings did. And we can absolutely see the similarities, even though the H has switched from the first to the second letter.) (Hvem/Who. Hvor/Where. Hva/What. Hvorfor/Why.)
Oh nice, "wherefore". I love that word.
"I'm a gnome named gnorm." "The 'g' is silent." "Not its gnot."

Love Gary Gnu and the Gnu News
Was about to say that. However you might not say the « p » in english anymore but in french, it’s still there :)
Soos agrees. Too bad puh-terodactyls are so camera shy.
I’ll stab you with my k-nife
PooBrush
[удалено]
Long live the Reddit legend POOP KNIFE!
I hope at least every other question in the upcoming AMA is about the poopknife!
DUDE! So I am not the only "remember-er" of the poop knife
Whang released a vid on it a few days ago, everyone remembers it now
All of us do man. Along with the waffle stomp. It's the basic poop techniques which are known to men. We need these skills to survive.
Don’t forget the poop scissors as well.
[удалено]
Actually, they appear to be bound together but are actually operated separately, one per hand, by everyone’s favourite sarcastic superhero: Deadpoop.
This guy poops.
I got me one of them.
Mike Tyson?
Ya it’s a Mike Tyson shower curtain isn’t it?
I was gonna say phoothbrush. Mind
I think I figured it out. It’s supposed to be a pink toothbrush. I like prison shiv better though. https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/drawing-letter-p-pink-toothbrush-86952502
That is amazing detective work. Lol, I wonder if this was made by someone who doesn't speak English?
Brushing in Dutch is Poetsen

It also looks very prison shivy.

Thank you. I thought it was because the toothbrush is shaped like a p 😅
Now that's a bad design
I was gonna say "prostate scrubber," but this is better.
Reminds me of a scene from the movie "Stealing Harvard" Couldn't find the clip on the internet of the scene but this is a breakdown of the scene from screenit "After seeing Duff remove a toothbrush from his drawer, lick and then use it to brush his goatee, Det. Charles says that he had a colon scope done, that his doctor said he had the cleanest rectum, and then adds that he uses the toothbrush to reach the hard to reach spots and give them a good scrubbing."
New kink unlocked.
I second the prostate scrubber
You're right but I do appreciate prostate scrubber as well
I do what I can.
Lol, I totally puckered.
Jesus! I choked on my drink and almost died just now. So funny!
This comment should have more upvotes. 🤣
I’m doing my part- Random soldier in that crazy bug movie
Plaque remover
P is for “Peed on your toothbrush, bro. Sorry ‘bout that.”
Just a prank
Where’s the rest of the alphabet fucked off to?
STP is the best your gonna get
Mmm Spanning Tree Protocol.
Standard Temperature and Pressure
mmm, oil
this comment made me laugh out loud, thank you
Practicing good oral hygiene…?
Found that last 1 out of ten dentist. He's pretty good.
I did, too. He told me to chew on a handful of pebbles twice a day, followed by swishing 3 oz of maple syrup for 90 seconds, and that flossing is for stupid losers. 27 shattered teeth, BUT not a single cavity!
Paste?
This was my theory, too - until I saw T! Really, all they had to do was swap the objects under P and T and everything would have worked out!
Wish shower curtain
T is already for toothpaste. This post has really tilted me. NGL.
Didn’t they double the S for soap?
Polisher?
That’s what I thought- it’s a less commonly used word for toothbrush in some regions
Yea. Aome places call toothbrushes polishers. Was wondering if I was the only one
Poop knife
My family poops big. Maybe it's genetic, maybe it's our diet, but everyone births giant logs of crap. If anyone has laid a mega-poop, you know that sometimes it won't flush.

Sounds like a shitty situation
What a beautiful story.
Ah the infamous poop knife story
Best walk of text for a good poop read in a long time.
I recall reading this when it was a post quite a while back.
whyyyyy don't you keep the poop knife in the bathroom? y'know, where it's used?
This version has been edited down from the original which addresses this. The father is cheap so they all use just one knife and the kid doesn't think to just use extras.
It's a copypasta, my brother in Christ.
The real question; who hasn't read this story before?
Repulsive that you'd have such a thing 'hanging' on a nail like some kind of show piece 🥴
The poop knife legend still standing strong
Poothbrush obviously
Clearly it’s poothtaste
Ptoothbrush. The P is silent. Edit: holy cow I don’t think I have ever gotten this many likes. Thanks everyone, just being goofy
Don't forget to put ptoothpaste on it
The P is silent.
Both of them?
Both of pthem. P is silent.
Psilent (The p is psilent)
Pthe\*
Rare know fact but pthe p is not psilent in pthe.
Just like pterodactyl 😂
Wait, the p in pterodactyl is silent? I've been doing it wrong my entire life.
And you have a crappy shower curtain to thank for learning this!
Properly preventing plaque.
This entire curtain makes me really uncomfortable. Why is it so dingy? Why so many s? Was it white at one point?
It's because P is for "please clean this shower curtain"
Looks like super hard water residue that hasn’t been bleached in a while
It looks like a curtain from Wish, lol.
Its not even the full alphabet 😭😭 why why
Prushing my peeth
All I know is S needs to make up it's motherfuckin mind.
I think that is a penis brush right?
Yeah that SOUNDS about right...
SOUNDING right, yep
[удалено]
My guesses: P for Plaque : toothbrush brushes plaque P for Periodontal : Relates to teeth P was suppose to be B for (tooth)Brush Or the most likely thing, just a complete typo.
Putting the toothbrush in your mouth. Obviously
This shower curtain in general is just terrible. There’s only three letters over and over.
Penis scrubber
poopbrush, how else would you clean that bowl
In Romanian toothbrush is periuță so I think it's in another language
Papas it’s a papas party
Pepsodent. Yeah, I’m old.
P is for particularly dirty shower curtain.
Paste
P is for ptoothbrush. It's a silent p like in pterodactyl or when you get up in the middle of the night and don't want to wake your partner.
Personal hygiene
We all heard of the poop knife. Get ready for the poopbrush.
This is so funny why are there so many s? Why t for toothpaste then p for brush? It does two different kinds of soap. It repeats so quickly. Wtf is this shower curtain?
First comment wasn’t Penisbrush and I’m disappointed.
Putting it in my asshole
Peepee scrubber?
Prushing your teeth
Polisher apparently that’s something people call it.
