Clucked Up

At an appointment this week, I went to use the restroom in the facility. On one of the stalls was a sign. I have a thing for funny signs, so felt compelled to take a photo of this. With my phone, because that's all I had with me. And of course, as I'm aiming, someone walks in! I made like I was just texting on my phone, and when she went in the stall, I took the picture.


In case it doesn't come through, this is the translation of the sign:
Bathrooms.
Toliet.
is
Clucked. up.
Do not use.
Out of Orodor.

OK, there are certain understandable misspellings here. The word "toilet" is not easy to spell unless you made it through 4th grade. I understand that.

But the part that gets me is "Clucked up." Did they mean to say "F---ed up?" Is this a new word: CLOGGED + PLUGGED = CLUCKED?

Was there a chicken stuck in the toilet? Is that why it's all clucked up?

Why did the chicken go into the bathroom? To cluck up the toilet, of course!
It seems that every day there is more reason for me to lose my faith in humanity.

So nice to see that there are people out there who spell worse than I do.....way worse! Did you know that there is a learning disability specific to spelling, or more accurately for not spelling? Yup. Pretty sure I have it!
