- rob74 4y agoTIL about the Tokay gecko, and that its name is derived from its mating call - plus this little nugget: > The tokay gecko's call is also responsible for the name given to it by U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War, the "Fuck-you lizard". My first thought was "why did they name it after a wine?" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokaji https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokaji, sometimes also spelled Tokay)
