Geary was referring recently to Sir Spermatozoa and then there's the sperm 
whale, the state animal of Connecticut (and Long Island Sound, not Litchfield 
Co., say). 

From a recent article, "A conversation with whales":

"Sperm whales use coda clicks most often during socialising. They sound 
unremarkable, like a popgun firing in quick succession. But when the clicks are 
viewed on a spectrogram, a visual representation of an audio signal, each 
reveals a remarkably complex pattern."

Something, to echo Polonius, very much like a whale disimplicature, only 
totally different.

Cheers,
