I wonder if other English language words follow this ABCCD letter pattern and have funny results when you do the same thing to them... For example "steel" fits the pattern but you get setl, settl, stetl which aren't funny, just unexpected.

Update: somebody actually did the work and got us an answer djkhsfkgjdfh

perhaps there is an alternate universe where the weather is opposite,
so that maybe it's always snuuy in philadelphia?

first i grepped /usr/share/dict/words to find all the words that look like bunny. i don't have a linux computer right now so i had to ask someone on discord to do it for me

then i threw out the ones that start with a capital letter, because i'm not a capitalist

then i used j to apply each of the bnuuy permutations—bnuuy, buny, and bnuny—to each line to produce a list of all the candidates, because that's the first tool that i thought of and have access to

and then i went through it manually assessing (aka the rainbolt gambit) whether any of the words were sufficiently funny or remarkable. i kept in some crummy ones to keep you on your toes. one criterion i inconsistently applied was whether it could plausibly be recognized as funny fnuuy/cutesy misspellings of the original word

thus i arrive at the following 56 candidates

here are some observations i collected:

  • ending in s kills the funny
  • deviating from CVCCy usually kills the funny
  • bnuny does a lot of the humour heavy lifting
  • it helps a lot if the word is a noun
    • even more so if it is a little creacher or critter
    • it hurts if the word is a verb, even if it is also a noun

directions for further research

  • more letters in front that are untouched? i conjecture there may be some gems to find in (C)(C)CVCCy that were not uncovered in this search
  • cross-reference with that copypasta/fun fact/word game where they scramble the internal letters in all the words of a piece of text and some people still find it mostly readable

raw dataset

in case you disagree with the neural net i have been meticulously training for decades
