I hope this helps overcomplicate things for you. We must all return to crocodile.
Crocodile? Are you guys from Florida? In Europe we learned it as duck beak, it just makes much more sense, where are the teeth? Nowhere it’s not an alligator mouth it’s a beak
Duck, crocodile, they’re both archosaurs. Which means if it’s either, they should have a premaxillar fenestra on the lower jaw, but I’m not seeing any. Clearly, this must be a possum.

Nah fam, if your bird looks like that it’s probably dead. I also learnt it as the crocodile in Germany

I’m thinking horribly mangled German bank executive with a lisp 🤷
Nono, we don’t do math in Florida anymore. Also we’d be more likely to use “alligator” (tho we have plenty of both)
In the pre-digital age when most of this was pencil markings, it was not uncommon to see someone had drawn the teeth in.
A greedy crow is what they told me
I’m from Europe and I learned it as a wale (and I’m from southern Europe)
I learned it as Pac Man.
Nope, it just sounds odd.
I’ll stick with big side = big number, small side = small number.
