Where I live everyone uses lightning bugs and fireflies interchangeably. Real arguments occur in the realm of duck duck grey duck VS duck duck goose.

>Real arguments occur in the realm of duck duck grey duck Duck duck grey duck?. I normally strive for civility online, but I think you're lying and challenge you to a duel. To be clear, I'm joking about the duel, but seriously: who the heck says "duck duck grey"? Earlier today someone asked in another thread on this site if I had had too much coffee -- the REAL issue is that I'm out of weed so I can't ramp down from my flow state[-1], and it's been my experience in STEM that nothing is taboo if the context is romantic. (It really grinds my gears that there seem to be no limits to the fun some people will have at others' expense.[0]) Reminds me of when someone claimed I "press stalked" them when all I did was look up their address before going over to... uh... "date" them, because I wanted to check they weren't just luring me out of my safe house to kill me, and every search engine I tried turned up basically no hits on that phrasal verb[1]. The difference is I tend to do it all under one nym, while others hide their inanity[2]. Anyways, in all seriousness: is Duck Duck Grey real? Or some virtual snipe hunt[3] you made up like the type they'd send Boy Scouts like me on in the 2000s just before the organization went bankrupt? :-) [-1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)#Challenges_to_maintaining_flow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology)#Challenges_t...
