An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

A standard Connery Canard will begin with a single dependent clause, and will end with an independent clause which typically embraces the merits of humor for the insane. The word order item “I Once/Onsh” will always appear at the beginning; then the 1st subject will follow preceded by an (sh)verb (indicating causality). The 2nd predicate “sho I” (indicating effect) will follow; finally the 2nd subject marker appears with a preceding (sh)verb successfully ending the sentence and conversation.

abstract
  • A standard Connery Canard will begin with a single dependent clause, and will end with an independent clause which typically embraces the merits of humor for the insane. The word order item “I Once/Onsh” will always appear at the beginning; then the 1st subject will follow preceded by an (sh)verb (indicating causality). The 2nd predicate “sho I” (indicating effect) will follow; finally the 2nd subject marker appears with a preceding (sh)verb successfully ending the sentence and conversation. The orderly syntax of these statements can be re-arranged to a certain extent; however, the meaning and subjective qualities will remain the same. Rarely the dependent and independent clauses are reversed, which consequently forms a Connery Canard Reversal. This particular application of the Connery Canard is less funny than the standard Connery Canard because it begins with the derogatory punch-line rather than ending it with one. The standard formation of this example is a rare occasion in which a Connery Canard Reversal is actually funnier. It is up to the speaker to decide how they want to arrange the clauses. It is becoming more and more appropriate nowadays to use the standard example. Many feel that the Connery Canard Reversal will only return to prominence after the influence of a modern-day Yakoff Smirinoff. Divergent humour such as the wanting to root a standard for contrary applications is one of many symptoms of dumpster cancer.
