Actually
Futalognkosauru is derived from the Coney Islandish meaning "Nathan's" and "the big one" and is properly pronounced "foot-long-ko-saurus".
I believe the ending means "side of slaw", which of course is nuts. You want a "side of cheese fries". No wonder they went extinct.

“Actually Futalognkosauru is derived from the Coney Islandish meaning “Nathan’s” and “the big one” and is properly pronounced “foot-long-ko-saurus”.”
I don’t know about the dinosaur’s place in the hierarchy, however it does take 12 inches to be a ruler.

THe actual name of the dinosaur, as announced by Nathan’s hotdogs was “Footlongcausestsaurus” ( A footlong hotdog will cause you trouble = tsoros is Yiddish for trouble). Never met a footlong hotdog that gave me trouble, but if you get one with a lot of filler, you could have tsoros.
There was a place at Atlantic City in 1963 that featured cheap foot long hotdogs, and they were pretty good. However, the girl behind the counter serving them was one of the most beautiful young women I had ever seen.
I’ll always remember that hotdog, the “Hotdog of the summer of ‘63”.
Did get to date the hamburger girl in Elizabethtown, Pa, in the summer of ‘65. A really nice, cute and intelligent girl, too. Gladys, I still think of you and your smile.
