"So, Waltz, what the heck is going on in your coop?"
We're playing shiri-TORI!
"Shiri-wha?"
Shiritori (しりとり/尻取り) is a Japanese word game.
The rules are simple: Take the last syllable (mora) of the preceding word, and use that to start the next word.
Example:
| ba-na-na | バナナ | banana |
| na-su | ナス | eggplant |
| su-mo-u | 相撲 | sumo |
"Hm, okay, right, so you're playing shiritori here? With the chicken names?"
Yes, but it's shiri-TORI! Because it's with chickens.
"Uhh..."
It's uh... It's just a bad pun. Because you see 'tori' means "take (取り)," but it also means... "chicken (鶏)."
"..."
...
"And the '-ya,' then?"
It's the House (屋) of Shiritori!
