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?

@taz I used to be up all night tooting, but now I spend all night plopping.
