I was screaming luis fonsi - mostly cause I was happy I knew an answer 😂 Love your vids as always!

Pinky said "Narf", Snarf was the cat with the tail in Thundercats. To be fair, I didn't know it to mean eat, either.

[@Rangsk]

SNARF: First recorded in 1965-70; of uncertain origin; possibly a combination of snort (def.) and scarf I’ve never heard of this. Also had scarf filled in.

[@alohaseattle8595]

I got stuck on snarf too.

[@jackwood4691]

@alohaseattle8595 Snarf is what had me having to checker in the end, it was so annoying

[@Rangsk]

Yeah I feel like that's going to be common, especially since it crosses a field specific acronym
