Is a a smurf a gnome?

For classification purposes, the genus would be gnome, the species would be smurf.

Yabu no, smurfs are not gnomes
Yanbu, smurfs are indeed gnomes

YABU, they’re smurfs. Completely different species.

Pixies are green. I was a sixer in the Pixies. I know.

I am unsure whether smurfs are gnomes. But they are most definitely NOT pixies.

I was a sixer in the gnomes, they’re white!

A smurf can identify as a gnome but is still biologically a smurf.

No. Sprites were green.

They're definitely not gnomes, there were gnomes in the TV series and they were totally separate things. Smurfs are like crocodiles, similar to other creatures in basic ways but pretty much their own species, not gnomes or pixies or fairies 🤣

Sprites were green, with a three pointed hat.

Pixies were also green, but with a one pointed hat.

Which means we can rule out smurfs being a sub species of sprite.

What colour would a Smurf turn if you choked it?

BillysMyBunny · 30/08/2020 12:06

YABU.

WhatamessIgotinto · 30/08/2020 12:37

I was a Sprite and I could have sworn they were white!

I’d like to portray myself as some sort of Brownie six guru.... but I checked the colours on google. Which is why I could identify the hats worn by the various species as well as their colour.

White. Choking Smurfs is boring.

@steakhousesally is that from experience? Grin

Re sprites and pixies, inthink we need a family tree drawn up
