Apparently "go woolly" is what we say instead of "go viral" over here hmm
@Gargron first time i hear this but it's good !!
@MightyPork I'm pretty sure @ada just coined it (my last boost)
@Gargron @MightyPork hehe I heard it ages ago, shortly after launch and it kinda stuck with me. I love using it.
@ada @MightyPork @Gargron Pretty sure I originated "woolly"… although sadly my other neologisms have yet to catch on https://mastodon.social/@nolan/1522550
@Gargron @MightyPork @ada Also I am hereby releasing "woolly" under a CC ShareAlike License. It belongs to the world now
@Gargron I'm bout the wool the fuck out over here
@Gargron
Ohhhhhh I love that.
@Gargron #LearnEnglish may be a new hashtag ! :p
@gargron i like that better tbh
@Gargron This is probably good as a virus is (always?) undesirable while wool is great.
@Gargron I like it.
@Gargron This woolly?
@rotatingskull @cb Yeah but I think woolly mammoths were not shorn before being called woolly
@Gargron @cb *extremely nerds voice* Actually, wild sheep (and maybe mammoths too) are shorn. They’re just shorn by walking through brambles and between trees which removes their fleece in a self-regulating, natural way. If sheep don’t get shorn they will get gross stuff growing on their skin under the matted fleece, so the sheering process is essential to their health, whether it’s done by Nature or a farmer.
@gargron woolly spammoth
@Gargron That doesn't really make sense but it's adorable so I love it.
@Gargron news to me haha!
@gargron never go full wooly
That's because it's woolgathering.
(Sort of like snowballing, but woollier.)
@gargron For whatever reason, I'm getting an error, trying to reply to this toot mentioning you.

@Gargron it might catch on.
@Gargron here let me re"toot" that for you
