      I thought about linking an explainer, but I lazily decided that this (and the wug) would be well-enough known here.

          Even here it’s useful: there always will be people in the 10000 club, after all.

      For keke is water is float, but keke is something else is sink. (Other substances tend to be more dense when keke than baba).

      EDIT: a bit more on-topic, Baba is You is a good example of the bouba-kiki effect; you kind of expect Baba to be round and fluffier than Keke, and that’s exactly what you get.
