Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 15-8-2006(181): I imagine thomeone who can not pronounth the "s" and speaketh like thith becauth they have a cane in their mouth.

2) [mcfate] 14-2-2008(90): I had persistent trouble confusing this one with 曰 sayeth (#578 曰). The way I keep it sorted out is that this one is used in "moshi moshi" when answering the phone, similar to the way an American would say "hello, this is X speaking.".

3) [mistamark] 26-10-2008(61): The cross in the mouth of the Monkey ensured it speaketh no evil.

4) [ruuku35] 26-5-2007(21): A MONKEY can't SPEAKETH of anything if he has a WALKING STICK driven through his TOUNGE WAGGING IN HIS MOUTH.

5) [furrykef] 2-7-2008(14): Distinguished from sayeth (#578 曰) in that we're surprised that the monkey can speak at all: "The monkey speaketh!".
