pea coat and pith helmet ??

ronanry · 01-30-2018, 02:22 PM

Hi all,
Ok, I have read the FAQ, I should ask a 11 yo... but I don't have ENGLISH 11 yo next to me... and as a french player, I really would like to understand the joke/pun here ...
Is it about "pea" and "pith" who has the same pronunciation as pee like "pee and poo" ??
however, is it because of the "fashionably questionnable set" ?
(because i play with my 10yo daughter, and i would like to translate the cards text for her... and I already know she will ask me why :D...so if i can at least try to translate the pun... as i did for the "monkey wrench" <= I really have to DON'T thanks you for this one !! :D :D :D )

Thanks for your answer

"Pea and pith" sounds like "pee and p*ss" if you squint your tongue just right. That is literally all there is to the joke.
