    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.

    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.

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

          I thought danger noodle is for venomous, nope rope for constrictors, and snek for anything else

      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.

          Huzzah!

          Probst! … … ?

          Is… does it make sense to say ‘Probst’ outside of a drinking context?

          … its been a long time since I’ve gone drinking with Germans, lol.

            They do ponder. The orb let’s them know, that you are indeed right, and “Prost” only is said when drinking. The orb has not yet told them how to translate “cheers” into German.
