Others have commented on the fawning nature of the communication (and I do appreciate if you're ICG America you might feel like you have to fawn) but what about the "But might it backfire" ? Gawd this is an absurd situation.

Assuming it is the word 'poof', a term, at least in my circles, which hasn't been in current use for at least thirty years I'm intrigued to know how YT deals with obscure slang in, a language with many fewer speakers. Ar
