Imagine this scenario. I show up at work after staying up all night on Mastodon. Coworker asks why I look so tired. My response: I was up all night tooting. Coworker's face falls, they sidle away.
What I am saying is we have awesome jargon like "federated timeline", why do individual messages have to be referred to by the same word my grandfather used to discuss breaking wind?
suggested alternatives:
rumbling, barking, snorting, roaring, galumphing, thumping, walloping, stomping, thrashing, clomping, plopping, pulsing, jittering, throbbing, shuddering, pulsating, weeping, quivering, shivering, dissolving, liquifying, dematerializing, dissipating.
@taz @superdrew There's a pill for that. (first toot from Tusky!)
@taz I used to be up all night tooting, but now I spend all night plopping.
