I'm sure many of you have seen this on any one of many e-mails of fun facts. Right along with the pig and his 30 minute orgasm. My e-husband Loungeact just called a collective group of people twits which made me think of this. I did some research and here is what I found.

Trust me it is a very interesting read.

OMG OMG ROFL...and now out the door and rolling around the yard! I will never be able to look at anyone's falling star again and not think of pregnant goldfish clicking away like little maniacs hoping to reproduce!
When I was growing up the term twit was used to indicate a person with a tiny brain, and fish certainly have small brains. lol The term twirp was used to indicate a little and small minded person. Again, goldfish are small and have small brains, and are for the most part mindless. The term tw*t was used to indicate in a crude way to describe a woman's vag*na as was considered an insult. So in spite of the straightdope people still not convinced that that a pregnant goldfish can be called a twit, I think I've updated the venacular to show that in some places, like here!, the image of twits could also be the image of pregnant goldfish frantically pushing buttons with the intent to insult. OMG OMG ROFL. I may not get over this. This is just too funny and I'm practically hysterical with laughter. If the dogs would stop barking I might be able to calm down. Oh, the're not barking - they're laughing!

I am so glad you read it. I was going to type out the the more interesting parts of the discussion for my post but just one person reading it was worth the time I took to find it.

And know this, any time I hear the word twit now I will picture typing belly bloated goldfish. ROFL

Oh for sure, for sure. LOL Even if no one else takes the time to read and post here, you have no idea what a much needed lift your effort gave me. I so much needed a belly laugh that wouldn't quit today. Even my dogs are still grinning.
You are now at the top of my harem list. lol

Oh my gosh I don't think I have ever had such a good laugh. I think this was a much needed laugh for the day .. How many of the people were doing drugs when they decided the definitions of the words on the link. wow . I don't know where to start so I'll take the easy way out and say whatever lounge says.

I'm still laughing along with my howling dogs! lol

Haha!! That is hilarious!! I would never have actually sat down and thought about the fact that they never get pregnant and therfore we should have known the term "twit" for a preggo goldfish was BS in the first place. I guess someone decided to take out the "A" and put in a "I" for proprietary reasons or just cause they could. Funny discussion!
