Imagine how stupid we look to water dwellers with our methods of self propelled moving trough water.
I bet the water fauna doesn’t consider it swimming either and probably would have some funny name for it if they used a universal language.
Whale: look at the hairless ape galumphing. They’re so cute 🥰
It’s just sinking with style
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
The second coming of u/poem_for_your_sprog?
Well if the physicists can steal “quark” from James Joyce, the sealologists can steal “galumph” from Lewis Carroll.
(“Quark” rhymes with “Mark” in the original, though; not with “dork”.)
Do people actually pronounce it qork?

Wellllll … I’ve never personally tried it myself (=P) but AFAIK it should not hurt. Seals have a very thick layer of fat under their skin (blubber) so it probably feels like bouncing on a gym mattress at worst. Plus, their natural habitat is full of uncomfortable looking rocks anyway (example) and it would be an evolutionary disadvantage if they were in pain all the time from just moving around. Flat pavement without sharp edges probably feels less uncomfortable than those rocks.
You should see how mattresses move
So I just started galumphing…
There it is!
I’m reporting this post. I didn’t consent to being recorded getting outta bed in the morning.
Life uhh finds a way
The one bucking the curve riding side saddle is way ahead of the game.
It looks like he’s missing a flipper. I bet that really wreaks havoc on his balance / equilibrium.
I wish I were a seal so I could galumph and poop at the same time.
I mean, nothing is stopping you now. Live your dream!
Why does this sound like an incorrect spelling of galloping?
I’m in this post, and actually, I’m ok with it… ¯_(ツ)_/¯
