One of my sons had a very different experience with weed. It destroyed his life. Not everybody smiles.

Hah! When I was a kid, my sociopathic neighbor had a model rocket hobby, and more than once, he put frogs in the rocket between the cotton wadding and the parachute so they would pop out at 150 feet and fall to the ground. It looked a lot like this.

Roger Ribbit?
The Frog Prince? Undertoad? I googled it and there are a surprising number of serious conversations as to which frogs actually 'say' ribbit. For one thing, many say that 'ribbit' is mostly an American thing. But really, we assign thses 'words' to animals but aren't they onomatopoeic? Except for my cat Toones (miss you so much old buddy, even after all these years) animals don't tend to enunciate very well. Toones very clearly SAID "Me-ow" as if he were a professor of inguistics. But he was part human too. Any hints, Lamp? |

I imagine when I say 'moo' to a cow in a field while driving by, which i do, that cow is thinking 'what the fuck is she talking about?'
Garry Shandling on the subject: the cow is like "hey, there's a cow driving that car! How can he afford THAT?" |

Although Kermit is older (1955), I don't think so.
The earliest reference I found for Kermit and "ribbit" is 1979 here But it did happen on TV (not Sesame Street). |

Warner Brothers? That entertaining frog...omg he would come out "Hello my darlin' hello my baby, hello my ragtime gal" until someone showed up, then "Ribbit"
But was that earlier than 1968? Hmmmm... |

You know, Michigan J Frog just may have said it earlier (1955) ... (wikipedia)
I could not actually connect MJ Frog and "ribbit" and I'll take your word for it. BUT... in terms of actually changing America's word for what frogs say, I believe it was later (1968) (on TV) and on CBS... |
