Even a peep of news about a new flu pandemic is enough to set scientists clucking about eggs.

“I made your favorite biryani,” Naano says, and clucks her disapproval.

“I was on the dance floor acting strange,” the lyrics go, “flapping my arms I began to cluck, look at me, I’m the disco duck.”

When Dad said that, Sitti made this clucking noise with her tongue.

Mama clucked her tongue and placed a firm grip on Ella's shoulders as they made their way toward the turbaned man with the floating scroll.
