Cacophony

Cacophony

DEFINITION

Dictionary

– A disagreeable sound: discord of sounds

Scifi

– Egyptian geese sitting on top of the neighbour’s *roof at the crack of dawn, honking their lungs out in a territorial dispute

 

post script: I have to add a little footnote here. Apparently the correct plural of roof is roofs, not rooves. I grew up with rooves, which they say in the link is an old secondary form, not common enough to be considered standard. (How old do they think I am??)

One commentator says, “Rooves will always be standard to me! Who’s the idiot who misspelled it in the first place?” Which I have to agree with.

But after the spelling queries on my post about my dogs eating hooves, I’m not going to write rooves here. Nor can I bring myself to misspell it as roofs. So, the geese can all sit on one roof. Problem solved!
