      “Yes” “Oui” “Sí” “Ja” sounds like “Yes we see ya”

      All of their “yes” responses together sound like “Yes, we see ya.”

    In related news, I was way too old when I learned that the Ouija board is named after oui and ja, which are “yes” in French and German.

      I’ve heard that it named itself, and the oui+ja interpretation is a false etymology. This is also what’s written on Wikipedia at the time of posting this comment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouija#Etymology

      Now I am imagining it called Ouinein to align with the Yes / No on the board.

        Ha! Imagine having to pronounce it, “Weeyah” to align with the respective languages

          Yeah, in the US, I’ve always heard it pronounced “wee-gee.” Of course, these were the same people convinced nerds playing TTRPGs were worshiping Satan.

    I like this variant (note, I’m slightly biased):

    And Englishman, a Frenchman, an Israeli, a Spaniard and a German are sitting in a room when a man enters and asks, “Can you see me?”

    They respond: “Yes.” “Oui.” “Ken.” “Si.” “Ja.”
