Squid
Cuttlefish
noun
Look in the sea and you'll see what looks like a crow moving under the water and it's a thief! It's stealing from all the fish. As it comes closer you see that it isn't a crow, it's a squid. Or a cuttlefish? One or the other.
The reading for this word is completely irregular, so here's a mnemonic to help you remember it:
You call the fish police to arrest that thieving squid, but it jumps into it's eagle car (いか) and makes a swift getaway. In case you didn't know, an eagle car is an eagle moonlighting as a car. The eagle car is zooming up into the sky, so there's no way the fish police can catch it now.
