What starts with W and ends with T?

Husband did not find that as funny as I did 😆 Almost fell off his chair with how hard he rolled his eyes.

"Hey, Kirk. you have five minutes to get rid of that word." precipitated this conversation

Spock: "Your logic is inspiring, Captain."

I know one thing that starts with a W and ends with a T:

WORT WORT WORT

No “it” doesn’t, “what” does.

Read the title, and my first thought was "wet".

Only if you spell it correctly, waka waka!

In the meantime, obligatory

The last panel could either be Kirk being upset with Spock or just him contemplating what the answer is still. Love it.

Yes.

It's beautiful

wot?

javascript var matches = []; document.querySelectorAll('.p-2').forEach(e => { var word = e.innerText; if(word.endsWith('t')){ matches.push(`* ${word}`); } }); console.log(matches.join('\n'));

This joke is not feasible in French.

The word to translate "what" in a sentence is "quoi", but for this question we'll use the contraction "que + est + ce" (that + is + it) -> "Qu'est-ce qui commence par un W et termine par un T ?".

So we may say Q and E but caused by the contraction of the 2 E it doesn't end with a E in this sentence anymore.

Another way to say it, more literarily "Quel mot commence..." (what word starts...) but it breaks the affirmative way of reading.

To approach the English way : "Quoi commence par un Q et termine par un I.". Some child would fall into the question trap but no adult due to the fact that it's not a proper interrogative word, the questions you can do with "quoi" are : "quoi?" (what?), "De quoi tu parles ?" (what are you talking about?) and "À quoi tu penses ? " (What are you thinking about?).
