  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

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

        If you steppy on snek, its just ‘what the heck?’

        If you hug a nope rope, you’re probly dead, dope.

        If you kiss a danger noodle, you’ll need a special kit and kaboodle.

  I only know one and he seemed to find it amusing but ultimately didn’t really care.

  I’m not a hero, but I sometimes refer to them as a snekeroni
