It's useful that my dog floats.

He's a good buoy.

Doesn't work in the US as they pronounce that word like complete psychopaths.

Odd that they say boooey, but pronounce buoyant and buoyancy correctly.

From US.

Booey is close enough to boy for the joke to still work just fine.

It still works. I call my pup "a good Bowie".
