Idle Friday lunchtime musing

At the end of a hard week, my mind started wandering...
TITTTL - almost an apt acronym by association with "tittle-tattle"
Unfortunately, tittle without tattle is "a tiny or scarcely detectable
amount" according to http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=tittle
This is hardly a fitting description of the resident hippos and is
liable to cause offence. A more PC acronym is therefore in order.
Perhaps "Post Replies At The Talk List" would yield a more fitting
acronym: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=prattle
* (n) idle or foolish and irrelevant talk
* (v) speak (about unimportant matters) rapidly and incessantly
Looks ideal to me, and nothing for the hippos to find offensive.
