[–]Higheast 13 points14 points ago

Before someone says that these are actually dolphins, dolphins are actually toothed whales. Whaleception. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whale

[–]LowSanityPoints 7 points8 points ago

That's like saying "before someone says these horses are ponies, you should know that ponies are just small horses". Well yeah. But you call them ponies and should be looked at askance if you refer to them as horses.

Same thing for calling Orcas whales just because they belong to the "toothed whale" suborder.

[–]Tyrus -1 points0 points ago

I typed up a long post about shortening phrases to one word to make for concise english. But then I decided to make my point as short and concise as possible

You sound like an asshole. This man is just trying to stop a long string of "hurr Orcas are actually dolphins hurr, IDIOT" by saying yes, they are dolphins, but dolphins are just the word we use for toothed whales.

[–]LowSanityPoints 2 points3 points ago

My point was, he's not going to stop it like that, because, common word usage wins out over technicalities, and it's awkward to call a dolphin a whale just because it's technically true.

I did sound like an asshole though, sorry.

[–]ImAWhaleBiologist 2 points3 points ago

Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises are seperate evolutionary branches but are all united as Cetaceans. Rest assured though, that all Cetaceans share the same evil disposition and proficiency in the dark arts.

[–]p0diabl0 1 point2 points ago

Whale Killers

FTFY

[–]DerpMatt 1 point2 points ago

They are also DELICIOUS

another also: Orcas are fucking douchebags.

[–]valkyrio 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, so are dolphins. Maybe more so.

[–]FireTempest 0 points1 point ago

For that matter, so are humans. In case you forgot, the word 'douchebag' was invented to refer to us

[–]valkyrio 0 points1 point ago

Hey, at least we don't use smaller apes as volleyballs until they turn into disintegrating purple chunks of meat.

[–]vote4petro 1 point2 points ago

toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family

Yep.

[–]WildVariety 13 points14 points ago

Dolphins.

[–]Tyrus -1 points0 points ago

[–]theroarer 0 points1 point ago

I assumed that they were calling out to a whale, "whale, whale, whale... what do we got here?" and then proceeded to kill the shit out of it.

[–]Poops_Everywhere 1 point2 points ago

Yes. Came here to say this.

[–]devilkin 4 points5 points ago

[–]Breathing_Balls 8 points9 points ago

[–]Sabird1 0 points1 point ago

Could someone please explain the reference to me?

[–]timeel39[!] 0 points1 point ago

Normally, we'd say, "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" (This is a common saying in English). However, as these are Orcas, also known as Killer Whales (but are actually a species of dolphin), OP is replacing "Well" with "Whale", because they sound similar. It's a pun.

[–]Sabird1 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was some weird reference to that song "War! what is it good for?"

[–]Official2m055 0 points1 point ago

The killer whale (Orcinus orca), also referred to as the orca whale or orca, and less commonly as the blackfish, is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family. They're both whales and dolphins?

[–]Rab_Legend 0 points1 point ago
