IMO - Mastodon does not quite roll of the tongue
- bombcar 4y agoDidn’t they have “toots” for awhile there?
- ineedasername 4y agoIn the US "toot" is sometimes used to mean "fart" so I can see why that might not get wide adoption. (Though it might be regional, and definitely more of a word to use with kids)
- artificial 4y agoSupertoots would be a great way to connect with the audience and ease supporting producers.

- mc32 4y agoToot is one of those words where context matters. No one confuses "toot your horn" to have anything to do with farts. It's like the words black and the word white --they can refer to color perception (though technically not colors) and they can also convey other associations, a few positive a few negative but have no relationship to the color itself. So it is with "toot". Toot may be used as a polite word substitute for fart in a specific context, but generally does not mean fart. Also see punctuational period and menstrual period. I haven’t heard of any native speakers confusing that given context.
- charcircuit 4y agoNo, it's gross and cringe. I'll never use that word.
- bombcar 4y agoFollowers could be called “fannies”.
- mc32 4y agoOnly in some places is fanny associated with the buttocks. In other places it's associated with vaginas --which do "fart" in a way, but not the same way and it's not called a fart anyway.
