    It’s a type of fish, and they are making word plays with the name of the fish. Why? I’m not sure of the origin of this one. I imagine it’s like the beans or the beef stroganoff memes - the origin doesn’t matter much at this point.

      The English word for the fish is “sturgeon”.

              I tried my hand on one of those AI image makers… Almost got kicked off twice because apparently “like-a-virgin-era Madonna but a sturgeon” is considered inappropriate somehow.

                Probably because of the word “virgin”

                Also I was thinking more about “Like a surgeon” which is Weird Al’s parody

          Just after Salmon(d). Presumably, the next one will be the well-known Scottish politician Davey Coelacanth.

      I actually started with eels. Aal (=> eel) can be inserted basically everywhere by just stretching the “a” a bit, like “Aalle wissen das” instead of “Alle wissen das” (everyone knows that). As far as I know, this started (or at least became popular) via Jan Böhmermann, he had some jokes about that in his show - the same guy who wrote the “goat fucker”-poem about Erdogan that caused massive diplomatic problems and resulted in changed laws.

        I started the Aalphabet in my family. Every time we encounter a word that matches, it is added. It’s geniaal!
