Idle Friday lunchtime musing

["Phil Betts" <Phil dot Betts at ascribe dot com>]

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.
