TankHughes commented on the word washbear
This is a translation of raccoon in several languages.
I like it because someone suggested to me that it might be a cutthroat compound.
Tragically, it's not the case. It's a bear-type animal known for washing its food (see sad video of raccoon waashing cotton candy and having it disappear :( ).
I wish. I WISH. it were an animal who washed bears, but it's not. Only then would it be a cutthroat construction.
