peer agreement (net): +5| oinkety-oink-oink [see explanation] Explanation: "Faster than you can say XXX" simply means very quickly. You might normally expect 'oink", because that's the noise pigs make, but that takes only a fraction of a second to say, so they've lengthened it by adding extra nonsense syllables. -ety Added to monosyllabic words, typically nouns or adjectives, to extend their form. Often seen in fanciful compounds. dig + -ety → diggety, hot diggety dog lick + -ety → lickety, lickety-split https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-ety |
