Meaning: Pass Through
Your mama was going down a water slide but she came to an elephant blocking her path. But, since the elephant is so big, she went right in the mouth and then out the *cough* other end. She was able to pass through with no problem at all.
Imagine the fear you’d feel for your mama as she’s going down the slide at high speeds. Then, imagine the relief and surprise as she just passes right through the elephant, barely slowing down. It’s nothing short of a really disgusting miracle.
Reading: つう
But, there’s not just one elephant to pass through, there are two (つう). Ewww.
Just when you’re feeling relieved about the first elephant, feel the emotions rise back up again for the second elephant too.
