@herid Oy, I did manage to get a 97%. Once I saw the visual I knew what had to be there. At least that is better than yesterday's 60%. ;)

@herid The problem with this game is that 15% of the time he's just trolling us.

@ech But at least the visual clues are usually amusing enough.

Though this is just stupid today, lol.

@herid

@herid Heh yeah, I managed to get by on clue only. :D 97%, and then I went to read the facts about this and.. well, yeah, hilarious. :D

@herid 97%. Especially when that thingy moved it was pretty obvious. :D

@trinsec yes, I should have figured it out sooner.

@herid @oatmeal Huh yeah. Got the visual, got the amount of letters, then guessed the word right. But... yeah, don't know what the visual got to do with it. Is it an English language word joke that's going over my head?

@trinsec @oatmeal maybe but I can't figure it out even post factum. I tried breaking the answer into words and looking for something that would make sense (oatmeal likes such tricks bases on previous puzzles) but drawing a blank so far.

@herid @oatmeal Huh, actually, upon rechecking the answer's image, yeah ok, the similarity was pretty obvious. But you had to know that to begin with, lol.

@trinsec @oatmeal I still don't see it. is it supposed to be its mouth?

@herid @oatmeal
I think this is pretty much the origin. Just that the round thingy could've been better detailed like this, heh. Although I still wouldn't have guessed outright without the rest of it.

Potential Spoiler 

@herid
Huh, yeah. Afterwards I think it's some sort of sounding like " 's ok " ... the rest is just a red herring. As a deafy having a 'sounds like' puzzle is tricky as this isn't my native language either heh.

@oatmeal

@herid
It's not terribly uncommon. It's gained a bit more popularity lately in 'edgy conversations' in my experience.

@oatmeal

@trinsec @oatmeal I don't think I've ever heard it used. Perhaps the use is regional?
