Commander Koo-Koo Bananas or Cuckoo Bananas?

[jojo54]

I just have to ask. The first time I saw it used on DU was about the Simpsons episode and that was spelled Koo-Koo. But I've also seen it the other way. This is going to be my name for the idiot from now on, so...

What say you?

Koo-Koo or Cuckoo?

1. Cuckoo Bananas

Cuckoo is the traditional spelling.

2. And the Cuckoo is a thief killer and a liar!

It lays its eggs in another birds nest, to pretend to be from that other bird. When the egg hatches, the cuckoo chick kills its nest-mates so it can have all the food!
