Banananaing



Banananaing: verb.  Singing and choking on a banana at the same time. Contrary to popular belief, one can bananana because of many reasons and on many different occasions. Though it may seem slightly improbable that one could even dare to sing and choke on a banana at the same time, it is not that hard to do. Scientists in Central Park Zoo observed that when courting to females, many chimpanzees ended up bananaing, because of the wooing traditions that usually accompany this ceremony – a female chimpanzee usually expects her future mate to bring her a banana and sing her a song before moving on to the next base. Due to the selfishness of chimpanzee males, many of them end up giving in to their greed and gulp down the banana while singing right in front of the female they are trying to woo.
