First Impressions
AI-WrittenThe name reads entirely as a creature of the twenty-first century. Hearing it called across a playground suggests an electric scooter, a brightly colored helmet, and very little patience for long vowels. The average bearer is twelve years old. He has never seen a telephone with a cord attached to the wall.
