Imagine how stupid we look to water dwellers with our methods of self propelled moving trough water.
I bet the water fauna doesn’t consider it swimming either and probably would have some funny name for it if they used a universal language.
Whale: look at the hairless ape galumphing. They’re so cute 🥰
Well if the physicists can steal “quark” from James Joyce, the sealologists can steal “galumph” from Lewis Carroll.

Do people actually pronounce it qork?
Murray Gell-Mann did (the guy who named them for anyone unaware). The general opinion seems to have been similar to that of the guy who invented the gif however: just because he named it doesn’t mean he wasn’t wrong about how it is pronounced.
So I just started galumphing…
Pretty sure its boing-boing-boing-ing.

I didn’t get a galumph outta that guy!
Life uhh finds a way
The one bucking the curve riding side saddle is way ahead of the game.
It looks like he’s missing a flipper. I bet that really wreaks havoc on his balance / equilibrium.
Why does this sound like an incorrect spelling of galloping?
I wish I were a seal so I could galumph and poop at the same time.
I mean, nothing is stopping you now. Live your dream!
I’m in this post, and actually, I’m ok with it… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
