@at :O i've been failing the shibboleth all along

[oscherler@tooting.ch]

@mcc “Ciboulette” (chives in French) or “six boulettes” (pronounced the same as the previous one, the x is silent, meaning “six meatballs,” again in French)

[beej@kind.social]

@mcc “Skibileth”

[lain_7@tldr.nettime.org]

@mcc

“shi BAH leth” even more so.

Or maybe it’s a diminutive nick name for a shiba inu: “Good boy, my little Shibalet.”
