+416 The word "moby" is a synonym for big. This means that there are likely hundreds of sex jokes hidden inside Moby Dick. It could even be a secret Porno, amirite?

Maybe 'moby' is a synonym because of the book title. It might not have originally been one, but became one years after.

Idk if that's tru, but either way it would still be funny to read the book with the word "big" replacing Moby.

idt they called it that back when the book was written... more likely IMO it means a big whale named dick (like short for Richard) haha but this was still funny :)

I almost excited to be forced to read Moby Dick now. Simply to think of this... Ugh. Highschool. Ruining possibly good books since forever.

Moby was a sperm whale.
