Look up ‘rivet’. It’s a type of metal fastener used when the fastening is intended to be permanent, and ‘to rivet’ means ‘to fasten with rivets’. So something that draws your attention very strongly is said to be ‘riveting’. (And frogs are typically thought to say ‘ribbit’ or ‘ribbet’. They also say ‘croak’, so to ‘croak’ is to make the sound of a frog… except that, unless you’re a frog, ‘to croak’ generally means ‘to die’.)
Thanks for pointing me on the right word.
I already looked up ‘ribbet’ in an online dictionary. Those are good for solving puns, because they tend to suggest the right word.
But in this case it suggested only ‘ribbit’, which is the part I got on my own (although I didn’t know the ‘ribbet’-spelling before), as well as ‘gibbet’, ‘rabbet’ and ‘ribbed’, all of which did not seem to make much sense in the given context.
kat go float in the corner because that pun was bad.
I toad her she should have used rats.
I don’t get the pun. Could you enlighten a not-native-speaker, please.
