Moresoupial (“more soup” pun on “marsupial”)
“Marsupial” has nothing to do with soup, but there are “more-soup-ial” jokes. Some jokes connect to the Charles Dickens’s 1838 novel Oliver Twist and musical Oliver! (1960, filmed in 1968), where Oliver asks for some more.

A moresoupial.’ I’ll see myself out” was posted on Twitter by Dave Markowitz on July 17, 2019.

No one:
Me: So I guess Oliver Twist must be one of the early examples of furry lit.
No one: Excuse me what?
Me: Because Oliver is a kangaroo or wombat or something, right?
No one: How would you even…?
Me: Because he’s a more-soup-ial!

Wikipedia: Marsupial
Marsupials are any members of the mammalian infraclass Marsupialia. All extant marsupials are endemic to Australasia, Wallacea and the Americas. A distinctive characteristic common to most of these species is that the young are carried in a pouch. Marsupials include opossums, Tasmanian devils, kangaroos, koalas, wombats, wallabies, bandicoots, and the extinct thylacine.
Wikipedia: Oliver! (film)
Oliver! is a 1968 British period musical drama film based on Lionel Bart’s 1960 stage musical of the same name, itself an adaptation of Charles Dickens’s 1838 novel Oliver Twist.
(...)
Act 1
At a workhouse in Dunstable, the governors hold a sumptuous banquet while the orphans are served their daily gruel and dream of enjoying (“Food, Glorious Food”). Forced by some of the other boys, who draw lots, where the tangled one falls on Oliver, Oliver approaches Mr. Bumble and the Widow Corney, and asks for more to eat.

After finishing his first bowl of broth, the guy in the Aussie pub asked for moresoupial, please. He couldn’t figure out why the wait staff was hopping mad about it. It seems that the law had been changed recently and it was no longer legal to sell Kangaroo tails. It was a Tailiban.
Of course, if a Kangaroo’s rear appendage is chopped off, it will have to go to a retail store for a new one.

We don’t usually see these guys on our porch.
He probably found some soup in someone else’s green bin and was coming to see if we had some too.
Cause he’s a more-soup-ial.
