A short-short story (300 words on the average), ending in a pun or a punchline that is pretty obviously the only reason for the story's existence. The telling detail in a Feghoot is the groan emitted by readers/listeners when they hit the PUNchline. In essence, an Overly Pre-Prepared Gag in short story form. Named for the character Ferdinand Feghoot, created by Science Fiction author Reginald Bretnor using the pen name Grendel Briarton. Bretnor chronicled Feghoot's adventures in the multi-year series "Through Time and Space with Ferdinand Feghoot!", in which each installment was a short-short that ended in a horrific pun. Compare with "Shaggy Dog" Story. A form of Overly Pre-Prepared Gag. See also Collective Groan, which will certainly result if the Feghoot is told well. Examples: |
