Foghorn Leghorn is a terrifying chicken monster featured in the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons. He speaks with an inexplicable Southern accent and is generally pretty unlikable.
But why the hell is he called ‘Foghorn Leghorn’??!?!! I don’t understand why this is his name. Why does he need to have the word “HORN” twice in his name.
Like…. his first name is FOGHORN? As in the actual thing that warns ships about fog during fog? That’s not a good name for a rooster. It’s pretty much the worst name. Don’t call your chicken monster Foghorn.
And if you MUST give your chicken character the first name ‘Foghorn’, then WHY ON EARTH would you give him the surname LEGHORN.
A LEGHORN IS NOT EVEN A THING. WHAT WOULD THAT EVEN BE??? LIKE… A HORN FOR YOUR LEGS?
NO NOT A SHOEHORN. A SHOE HORN IS A REAL THING. IT’S NOT A HORN, REALLY. BUT AT LEAST IT’S AN OBJECT THAT EXISTS WITHIN OUR UNIVERSE. THERE ARE NO LEG HORNS.
Ok. So I looked it up and apparently he’s named after a character from some 40s radio show called Senator Claghorn. I guess that explains one of the horns. BUT NOT TWO.
He should be called Chicken Man.
The foghorn has to do with the senator’s loud & brash speaking voice. My mom remembered him and said he was a loud mouth school, just like the dog called Foghorn, lol!
Loud mouthed shnook. Dag gone spellcheck…
Leghorn is a breed of chicken.
This is one of the dumbest blogs I’ve ever read. It’s foghorn, like a loud foghorn referring to his voice or personality. And leghorn, like a white leghorn chicken.
