I've got new followers (mutuals? (I'm old and crusty)). I have a hunch that it's only because I added the SEO hashtag in one of my posts.

Useless Fact #37

The real name for the # symbol is octothorpe.

One of my favorite fun facts is that the original name for this symbol # is “octothorpe”

Reason 1. Just say it. Octothorpe! What a fun and silly word!

Reason 2. On two glorious occasions many years ago I had the opportunity to listen to a boomer rant about kids these days being so stupid that they call a pound sign a hashtag and how they shouldn’t use slang, to which I had the honor and delight of responding that the patented term is octothorpe, and both pound and number sign are simply boomer slang

What Hashtag should I use?

An Octothorpe? For hundreds of years, it was a sign suggesting you go “pound” it.  Bell Telephone added this to your phone in the 1980’s, when voice mail became a “thing”.   Today it’s a hashtag used on most Social Media. I saw one in a store, it weighted a pound and was a little sharp.  (one funny for music fans).   I ponder how to “hashtag” this blog post?

pig give me your wilddest freshest new pronouns.i need something maddening that will drive people with non-xenos/neos to madness like im some kind of cosmic horror

oh okay so what you want to do is start creating new languages with pronunciations never heard before. also you will need to work on your vocal skills because you may want to branch out into xenos that are only stage-whispered or spoken through ventriloquism. ok? and then you're good to go
