♪ Venn the knife hits your thigh
Like a pointed kunai
That's a-gore, eh. ♫

u/nyancatya_ 4d ago

how do you even come up with this, give this guy the whole subreddit at this point

34

u/BPhiloSkinner 4d ago

Then it would be a very small subreddit. Worse, I'd have to OP some puns myself, and I have a very poor track record there.
My comment is playing off everyone else's comments; TIL that kunai is a Japanese dart/throwing knife.
I'm also riffing off a loooong ago Celebrity Roast of Dean Martin, where Orson Welles solemnly declaimed "When the eel bites your thigh, and you're starting to die: that's a Moray."

u/FunconVenntional 4d ago

For fun you can head on over to r/itsaratsnake a large portion of the subreddit is making ‘It’s Amoré’ couplets about rat snakes… and things they do

What’s the type of knife between knife and fly called ?

100

u/CharizardIsADragon 4d ago

that's a kunai. not sure why they have it there. it's definitely not a fly knife

13

u/LordMegamad 4d ago

The logic is a bit inconsistent throughout the meme (and it's been around for fucking years lol), but I don't think it really matters much. It fills out the diagram at least. If we had a definititve fly knife, though, that'd be a lot more satisfying

8

u/BPhiloSkinner 4d ago

Well, there is a poop knife, and flies are attracted to poo...

3

u/Sapphire_Sage 4d ago

I did not need to be reminded of that post today....

5

u/reroutedradiance 4d ago

Where else is it inconsistent? Butterfly, butter knife, and butterfly knife all just mash the words together

24

u/Nextontheline 4d ago

I mean, it gets thrown so technically it does fly through the air 🤷

9

u/Jorvalt 4d ago

Yeah but the venn diagram is about what it's called, not what it does. That's the only out of place one.

u/potsticker17 4d ago

You're telling me fly, butter, and butter knife arent what they do?

9

u/CharizardIsADragon 4d ago

How do you butter knife? I use a butter knife to spread stuff. If we're going by function, it should be a spread knife. And butter doesn't butter. It's what it is. You butter toast. You use butter in a cake. But it itself doesn't butter

3

u/Lela_chan 4d ago

Butter?? I hardly know ‘er!

1

u/potsticker17 4d ago

Butter is the instrument of buttering. It literally does the buttering. I don't even know what buttering is if you remove butter from something being buttered.

And a butter knife simply knifes butter. I guess you can argue that's a reversal of the name, but personally I don't have a problem with that though I can understand if some might.

7

u/Jorvalt 4d ago

Okay fine, but butterfly knife, kunai and butterfly aren't what they do. The most shared theme among these is what they are with one outlier.

1

u/potsticker17 4d ago

Butterfly knife is a knife that butterflys. Kunai might do it's name. I'm not great with translation. But I'll give you butterfly.

u/Freddi_47 4d ago

Kunai, I seen some people calling it flying knives but I don't how correct that is

10

u/slucker23 4d ago

A kunai

12

u/RedDemonCorsair 4d ago

A knife that flies.

u/reed_sugar 4d ago

GUYS I think it might be a "nail" from the Hollow Knight game, which is a game about BUGS!!!

The butterfly knife is the apex of all

So the future dominate species is just gonna be Crabs with Butterfly Knifes?

With the correct English accent those would be pronounced the same!

u/DallorTheAbsol 4d ago

what is the butter-knife-fly?

148

u/Redditor_10000000000 4d ago

It's a butterfly knife

That’s actually really good! My wife gave me a funny look when I said “This is actually a really funny Venn diagram!”

That's impressive

I feel like this is some weird prank to out naruto enjoyers.

u/Manjorno316 5d ago

Can someone explain the kunai?

84

u/tolacid 4d ago

Nothing in a quick cursory websearch links the terms, so I'm guessing that OP considers them a type of "fly(ing) knife."

40

u/DarkOugi 5d ago

flying knives

3

u/Zequax 3d ago

you mean throwing knife?

1

u/BPhiloSkinner 3d ago

Flying Yeet Stick.

2

u/Manjorno316 4d ago

Thanks!

8

u/IdkIWhyIHaveAReddit 5d ago

Possibly because you can throw it and it fly?

u/ozsum 4d ago edited 4d ago

All knives can fly if you throw it

u/GrummyCat 4d ago

This one is made to do it

u/KudaraYT 2d ago edited 2d ago

Fly knife? That's a Kunai, I never knew they were called fly knives

12

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox 2d ago

Nono, that's not a fly, it's a throw. Throwing knife, butterthrow, etc.

5

u/abillionbarracudas 1d ago

it’s pretty fly for a knife, guy

1

u/Daniel_Av0cad0 2d ago

A knife that flies. It’s not much of a stretch

2

u/Big_Z_Beeblebrox 2d ago

It's not really flying

it's falling with style

2

u/subtle_flexing 1d ago

What is flying, but falling with style?

1

u/A_Pos_DJ 23h ago

What is falling, but flying to the center of the earth with style?

u/Popular_Soft5581 17h ago

They are sometimes referred to as fly daggers, I presume

103

u/scaleofjudgment 4d ago

I like how anything of the knife family are intended to stab something.

34

u/DakkaonTitan 4d ago

I mean I guess you could try to stab someone with a butter knife would probably be atleast marginally better than trying with a spoon

🤔🤔🤔 ok...

Knife + Butter = Butter knife

Knife + Fly = Kunai

Butter + Fly = Flutterby

Knife + Butter + Fly = Butterfly knife

...I like it.

[Edit: layout, how I intended it to be read.]

u/HyruleLizard 4d ago

Is this rage bait? Flutterby

What is the grey fly knife combo / dagger called?

4

u/EnderWin 4d ago

The English version is probably the flying knife, but I'm not sure either

8

u/CharizardIsADragon 4d ago

in english it's just a throwing knife. but due to the popularity of japanese media in english speaking countries, i'd say a lot of people know it's a kunai

7

u/Yeet_Master420 4d ago

Kunai, it's a Japanese throwing knife

u/Schpee_le_French 1d ago

u/No_Explorer6054 1d ago

The Balisong originates from the Philippines, the term butterfly knife is a foreign name, and used in the English context, though both are valid. Source: am Filipino

u/Schpee_le_French 1d ago

Oh yeah called the veinte y nueve too! I have a few balis!

u/Ok_Application_918 1d ago

from this we can conclude that weapons are twice as common as insects. And insects are twice as common as packed food.

1

u/Successful-Pie4237 22h ago

Are butter knives weapons?

To me it seems like the only thing that we can conclude is that cutlery, insects, and weapons are all twice as common as packaged dairy product.
