  My interpretation:

  Bird: The standard Birb: Bird being silly Borb: bird but fat Blorb: Bird but holy damn he’s even fatter

    I think borb is just a species with fluffy feathers. Blorb is fat, though.

  Are there really herpetologists saying “don’t say snek”?

  • BillyClark@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    That would surprise me, also. But it takes all kinds. Maybe the average ornithologist tends to think that birds are “cute”, while the average herpetologist tends to think that reptiles are “cool”? I’m sure that whatever the group as a whole tends to think, there will be many counterexamples.

    I was just thinking about chess, and how one of the most famous chess players, Hikaru Nakamura often refers to chess pieces as “juicers”, for whatever reason… maybe the shape? Lots of people have nicknames for different pieces, like “ops” for “bishops”, etcetera. But then there are some who take themselves entirely seriously, and never joke around.

    According to my ssss-sources, the preferred nomenclature is ‘danger noodle’.

      Danger noodle is for non venemous and nope rope is for venemous

  Just so everyone knows, birb, borb, and floof are official terms recognized by the Audubon Society.

    Brilliant articles, thanks - written by someone completely conversant in both birds and internet culture, with a sense of humour but also communicating bird facts and including citations for things like why round things are cuter.
