I've been a member on this forum for three years and nine months and I still can't speak a single word of Korean.

My brother in law on the Gold Coast houses Asian students and some holiday travellers (for a fee) so when we had tea with them on our holiday we were joined by a 22 y/o Korean, a similar aged Chinese Guy, a 32 Y/O Japanese lady and her two children (maybe 10 & 12 y/o)

I asked the Korean guy (who spoke quite good English) if he knew of the Hyundai i30.. He was puzzled and then said .. Oh, Huundai  (but couldn't recall the i30 model)

Most people in the UK say High - yun - die

But on UK TV the advert pronounces it Hun - day.

Our ads say, "He-un-day"

Gotta disagree with you, Trev (just for a change).....

Old Hyundai ads pronounced it that way but you obviously haven't been taking too much notice of the latest model ads.... 
If you had, you would have noticed they don't actually say "Hyundai" at all....just the name of the particular model.....

With respect, you obviously don't have the "Hyundai i40 Traffic helicopter" on Channel 10.
And we just finished a "Hyundai 3 day sale". No models mentioned apart from one or two exceptions.

[rustynutz]

Happy to stand corrected on that sort of "ad" but, like I said previously, if you watch any of the "latest model" ads they never mention Hyundai....

So...my original statement was correct..........

I think if you pronounce the 'y' as a yuh, as in yesterday then it sounds pretty close. Not as a hi or a he.

[Ugly Mongrel]

Toucans are related to woodpeckers.

You cannot tickle yourself.

[Doggie 1]

I'll leave the two can and woodpecker one alone, but it is true that one can not tickle one's self. 
You can, however, cause one's self to be tickled.

I think we're saying the same thing.
He-yuhn-day.

Actually, my daughter insists the way I drive it's Hoon-day.

[Doggie 1]

Just think underpants.
He Undies. 
Although I do actually say, He-Un-Day.
So all this time on the forum and I I still can't even say Hyundai correctly.

Nor can you knee yourself in the bum!!

Chickens don't have teeth.

[Doggie 1]

Chickens don't have teeth.

They might do but by all acounts they are pretty rare.
Hence the saying "as rare as hens' teeth."
This would indicate that somewhere in the world, there may be one or two with teeth.
Otherwise, the saying would most likely be "as non-existent as hens' teeth."

[FatBoy]

Chickens don't have teeth.

Apparently they do, it is what the chick uses to break out of the egg, then it breaks off.  Another bit of useless trivia from the FatBoy.

Love your reasoning Dave

Chicken Teeth: They are Real

Everybody knows that chickens do not have teeth. Obviously, they are birds, and there are no known species of bird which have teeth. They lost this bodily structure as a genus between 60 and 80 million years ago. However, what would happen if they had both the physical structures in their bodies which could produce teeth, and the necessary genes which could be activated, causing them to grow a full set of chompers? Would the world be ready for chickens who have toothy grins? Believe it or not, there is evidence to suggest that in some kinds of chickens, not only could teeth exist, but during their early developmental stages the precursory steps which often grow into being teeth actually do come about.

From an evolutionary standpoint, chickens and crocodiles are fairly similar to one another. Even their jaw structures are fairly similar. So when scientists checked out some embryos of these two critters side by side, they found that in a small group of chromosomally abnormal chickens the early stages of tooth development were taking place, just as they were in the croc embryos. While the crocs still grew up to be far more dangerous than the chickens, this is some very intriguing research. True, there is probably no constructive reason for chickens to be bred with teeth in their mouth, but this is still intriguing.

This also shows off that the effect of atavism (which is when a trait disappears for several generations, and then resurfaces) can be used as an indicator that certain species evolved from other kinds. While the Scope Trial did happen roughly 90 years ago, there are still some people who could use just a little bit more convincing that evolution is both real and that it has happened to every existing species on this planet. In the case of a relationship between chickens and crocodiles, this is a fairly straight forward kind of obvious evidence that it has.

So chicken with teeth are rare

You could say that

No, only partially correct....

As rare as rocking horse s**t?

The skin needed for elbow transplants or skin grafts is taken from the scrotum of a cadaver. 

[Phil №❶]

Not needing a transplant of that nature in the near future,,,,,,,,, thankfully. 

[Doggie 1]

I would believe that because the skin that is "cultured" for burns victims is taken from and started with babies' foreskins.
Aparently it is the best for growing new skin and otherwise it would be just thrown out.
I would have thought that the donations would have diminished in recent years though. 
We have a very good burns unit in Perth which uses some ground-breaking technology and is world-renowned.
