Hilarious fact: On Mastodon, the "Publish!" button used to be known as the "Toot!" button, but @Gargron changed this because he didn't like that the word "toot" was a synonym for "fart".
And now you know why posts here are known as "toots"!
Apparently, the story goes that a YouTuber offered @Gargron lots of cash if he'd refer to posts as "Toots".
So he did.
However, because English is not his first language, he only realized what "toot" was slang for at a much later time.

@atomicpoet @Gargron so that’s why a lot of people have a problem with it
