Let me explain. I made one of these last week and a friend didn't believe me when I said it was a "Titty Catcher."
"A what? No. That's not what it is. Uh-huh, no," she said dramatically.
"Yes, it is! I've been calling it that since fourth grade," I said, assured of myself.
It's not like when I was in fourth grade calling this a "Titty Catcher" meant I was trying to be dirty. It just sounded catchy and to me, it's a good name for it. And it actually is the best name for it because it is so weird.
Another friend commented and said that they call it a "Fortune Teller." But my argument is that you didn't just use it to tell fortunes. You used it to pick out who has a crush on you, tell a dirty joke, pick a favorite color, etc. It wasn't just to see what was going to happen next in a fourth grader's world.
So, again, and I say this with pride and not prejudice - I will forever call it a "Titty Catcher." My children and my children's children will call it this and carry on the name forever in time. Thousands and thousands of years from now I will have the distinct priveledge of knowing that I am the reason this name has stuck around to cause confusion, uncomfortable laughter and debate.
Nuff' said.
