That was my first thought but can dolphins breathe out of their mouths?

*Searching say no. Can I say duckduckgoing? Ducking? Ducking says no. Separate breathing and feeding tubes. We should do that.

I’d just like to add that the colloquial interpretation of “mouth-breathing dolphin” is kinda funny. Like Kevin the Dolphin.

Huh, interesting. This article has a scratch of the cross section of a dolphins head: https://hakaimagazine.com/news/scientists-discover-mouth-breathing-dolphin/

*What do you reckon the past participle would be? Google/Googled is easy. Duckduckgoed sounds wrong. Duckduckwent is probably correct. Ducked might be easily misinterpreted/misunderstood.

DDGed gets my vote.

I just say Google hoping that the trademark will eventually become generalized like escalator
