@xakan I'm old enough that I shouldn't, but I'm still very amused that it's called tooting 😂

@ItsSheVee oh in French it’s « pouet ». Like a clown’s horn 😅

@ItsSheVee we can also play with words as “pouet” sounds close to “pet” which means fart. We’re all old kids. For the eternity.

@ItsSheVee @xakan Yeah, I believe part of the idea behind calling them "toots" is the phrase "tooting your own horn"?

@benjaminhollon @ItsSheVee maybe. We should ask it’s creator. But I don’t like him so I won’t.

@xakan @benjaminhollon I thought it was just because it's a Mastodon sound, similar to howa bird sound is a tweet
