EsiOn the Icelandic fediverse/Mastodon I've started seeing people using the word "tútta" for "toot". "tútta" (pronounced toot-ta) is normally a slang term for a boob/tit.
Please reboob this.
Well, this boob blew up...
leeleedee@esi Ballistic Boob?
Travis KJ5DCL@esi it all makes sense
kechpaja@esi So just the “masto” part of “mastodon”, then?

Softwarewolf@esi Is this a new feature of the Icelandverse?
ihmiskoiraNot too(*t) bad as "toot" is equal to "ding" 🥳

Em@esi and this is why Mastodon is better than titter.
Patrick McLaughlin@esi just keeping abreast of the news from Iceland.
Le Néandertal se sent las, las@esi So this is completely in line with the etymology of mastodon, from mastos: tútta (það er fyndið)
(Can you tell me if there are a few # that I could use to find islensku túttur? Please 🥺 ) (I really mean toots 😅 )
@HydrePrever i dont know about hashtags but a lot of us Icelanders hang out at the lodfill.is instance.
@esi thanks for the tip!
@HydrePrever No prob. You are more than welcome to follow my Icelandic account at @esi if interested. :)
Dr Juliette@esi "mast" already means boob so i guess it's only fair... :s
S.R.3@ferrydanini @esi mast in my languange means something else..... not goint to translate. ok. bye.
@ferrydanini Boobodon....g? Sry, my childlike humor couldnt resist.
@esi honestly i think it sounds better lol
Wanderingjim@esi thanks for making me laugh out loud in public

@esi seems fitting given mastodon means “boob tooth” (assuming random mastodon copypasta wasn’t lying to me!)
Bailey@esi @oldenoughtosay thought of you
Rev. Bussy Body of The Church of America MLM and Shooting Club@esi so that's why they call it masto don
Jae Bloom@esi I definitely like boobs!
HRH ginsterbusch@esi Clearly, they're talking about birds. Potentially the bearded tit or the long-tailed tits.
emilio@ginsterbusch @esi retitting.
thinkStory@esi I hate to tell them what "toot" means in America. Rhymes with "the magical fruit," etc.
Boskee ↙️↙️↙️↙️@esi Happy to reboob this cocaine snort (which is toot in English)

acb@esi How would you say “boobtooth” in Icelandic?
Steingerður
Jim@esi Tutta's out for the lads
Javier Alvarez@esi boobs...
Wild Ideas@esi "Toot" is also slang for "fart" here in the U.S.

トネ - Tone 🏴☠️🇵🇸 🐧🤘@esi I boob this and I think it's beautiful.

Herr Schorsch@esi They're right! (please translate) https://muenchen.social/web/@drguidokn[email protected]/109246080764378901
Verrückte Geschichte (@[email protected])
Attached: 1 image 1806: Der württembergisch-französische Naturforscher Georges Cuvier veröffentlicht einen Aufsatz über das „Mastodon“. Diesen Namen hat er aus den altgriechischen Wörtern für „Brust“ und „Zahn“ zusammengesetzt, weil ihn die Backenzähne des Tieres an eine weibliche Brust erinnern.
Amber Ying 應 緣@esi This reminds me of how "boba" is slang for "big breasts" in Mandarin so every time you say "boba tea", you're saying "boob tea".

The metal band Mastodon was named after the open source software project, as the singer is a big fan of FOSS and social networks. The software project itself is named after the Greek words, mast (boob) and dont (tooth). So Mastodon means "Boob tooth". This is because the lead dev likes teeth that have boobs.
smells of bikes@esi nice in that "mastodon" is "boob tooth" so they're right on target etymologically.

@esi possibly related, in Russian "toot" sounds like the word for "here", which is not a verb and is pretty impossible to use as one :-)
Milo Kei@esi IIRC they also call cake 'kaka'.
Crap.
andylancelot@esi thanks for keeping us abreast of the situation 👍😁
