Sam Borden in the NYTimes riffs from France how various European countries apply a description to the ever present hashtag @:
Poles = monkey. Dutch = monkey's tail.
Czechs = rolled up fish fillet. Greeks = duckling. Hungarians = worm. Italians = snail. Ukrainians = dog. Taiwanese = mouse. While in the U.S.A. it's technically known as the "commercial at". Sam's two year old calls it a "tubby". But we haven't asked that prodigious Twitterer, Donald Trump, what he calls it.
