    What in the flying hell is a “dock-ore”?

      Obviously it means dock, as in where a ship moors, and ore, a common product on ships /s

      But unironocally, that’s probably exactly their reasoning…

        A buck gets ten you’re exactly right.

          Maybe he meant dock-oar. Like a contrived term for a rower of a boat, and just didn’t think to check the difference between ore and oar. Not that it’s any less stupid

            Oh no, it’s better than that. Doctor sounds like Dock-ore and ore sounds like oar so everything related to giving birth is actually nautical themed, and this is the reason the US court system (which is all a naval court system by the way) has legal power over people.

            The Dock-Ore brings in the valuable ore/cargo (the baby, for the sane folks playing along at home) and takes blood samples from the sole of the baby’s feet (and sole sounds like soul, so they’re actually taking soul samples) so the US government can claim you as property and auction off your DNA.
