Fulvous
“Fulvous looks so musty. Is this even orange?”
Fulvous, commonly referred to as "orange but not," is a deep shade of beige. It is so deep that some people consider it to just be plain brown. This is wrong, however, as fulvous is too bright to be brown, yet it's too dark to be orange. It's more of a REALLY saturated tangerine.
History[edit | edit source]
Fulvous was derived from the Latin term "fulvus," meaning "full of this." Hence, when a copper-coloured man filled himself with this, the Latins said he was "fulvus." More light brown men did the same thing, and hence the term "fulvus" was associated with their skin colour. When the brits borrowed the latin language, they mixed things around and we end up with "fulvous."
When people started bird-watching, they noticed a whistling duck and went "That coat on their belly looks a lot like a copper-coloured man. Wait..." Hence, it was named "the Fulvous Whistling Duck" after the colour term.
Q&A[edit | edit source]
After risking another one of our interviewer's lives, we went to ask a local on the future of fulvous.
“What's next for fulvous?”
“Why are you asking me this? I don't even know what fulvous is!”
“Okay. What's next for the colour which is a slightly darker orange?”
“Thanks for clarifying. I am not an expert in colours, so I cannot predict the future.”
“Tell us or we will brutally murder your family.”
“Uhm... I think fulvous will... become a furry?”
“Good enough. We will use this to create the ultimate sex device.”
“May I please go now?”
“No.”
As you can see, in the near future, Fulvous will become a furry. Anti-furries, beware!
Conclusion[edit | edit source]
We can conclude that we must cage fulvous in a box for several thousand years. Want to help? Well, you're in luck! For just pennies a day, you can donate to the Fulvous Uncyclopedia Capturing Korganization (F.U.C.K.) and prevent the spread of fulvous furries (double Fs) around the world. We heard that they're a lot more thirsty than the regulars.
