if hbg had anything to do with it I have no choice but to retract my objection
If you don't like the term "toot" it's fine, it shouldn't matter who coined it. Don't make your likes or dislikes dependent on who stuff or ideas come from.
I just wanted to explain some history of that term.
The knowledge of that history and context is what should influence your taste, not the specific individuals involved.
I thought the begrudging tone would make it obvious but I was joking. so was hbg by the way; he clearly said it because it would be ridiculous, not because it would be smart. it's fucking dumb.
