A fact from HMS Fifi appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 August 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that HMS Fifi, a German warship captured and added to the Royal Navy during the First World War, was named to mean 'tweet-tweet' in French?

Wrong picture

Some jokester put a picture of a Poodle up - I removed it and invite submissions of a proper picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.105.102.201 (talk) 09:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tweet Tweet?

It sounds like bull to me : in French, the onomatopaea for "Tweet Tweet" is "cui cui", not "fifi", unless the lady credited for the name had some bizarre speech impediment, or Spicer had a taste for bizarre humour. --Svartalf (talk) 23:01, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
