Now that quote posts are a thing on Mastodon, we need an insufferably cutesy nickname for them that everyone hates but still gets used anyway.

To that end I nominate “Quoots”, a portmanteau of ‘quote’ and ‘toot’. I believe it’s the worst possible option, solidly cementing Mastodon in particular and the Fediverse in general as having the worst slang on the internet.

Please quoot to spread the word.

@Fruan maybe "toque" -- it's like "quoted toot" spelled sideways (a la Libby the Kid), and it calls to mind a toot that you put a hat on. (your addition)
@revmem @Fruan I might go with this one
