I'm really frustrated because I think "toot" is cute and I've never heard anyone actually use it to mean farts because that's just not a thing where I'm from.

And I do like that I can tell someone "could you toot that" instead of "could you post that on Mastodon", there is recognition value in that.

But if that's legit going to be an obstacle to people taking Mastodon seriously, it seems impractical for me to insist on that term. 😦
