    I prefer to think of a regular size bee with a giant cowboy hat

      That sound like a regular hat, with a regular bee hiding inside.

      Ouch!

    I always thought “beehaw” was a sound donkeys made. Somehow I never made the connection that it had anything to do with bees until now

    It has confused me, as I (And friends) pronounce it Bee Whore. It has made me look at bees in a new way. No shaming of bees, please.

      I think that is how most people pronounce it because Yee haw kind of sounds like yee whore. though it has a very different meaning.

        What? Not in my accent. Is yours one of those where “claws” and “doors” rhyme?

            different vowel sounds (short A like “father” versus long O like “oat”)

            different final sounds (one ends with the mouth still on the vowel sound, one ends with an R sound)

                Close enough, though “doors” is one syllable when I say it. Definitely not even a slant rhyme, though.

        In what accent does a W have an R sound? Australian?

          Some northeastern US accents do something similar. Not sure the exact term for it but it is a linguistic thing. Words that end in A get turned into an R sound, like Emma sounding like Emmer.

        Cute emoji though I am not sure if that is a Bee sized Fox or a Fox sized Bee.
