Just to check. The app crashes a lot, and that is fine. Still early days! But you do you get them? Or do I need to report them somewhere? If that would be even possible given I do not know what happened.

So far I has been:

  • scrolling
  • reading
  • upvoting
  • posting a message
  • subscribing to a new … argh how do we call them here again 😬 subreddit

I will if you want but I don’t think these will help much. It’s a hard crash: app closes

      I think most people think of it like a word so pronounce it like a single word phonetically. It’s the cute little onomatopoeia people use for animals sticking their tongues out/licking.

      I don’t think people are pronouncing any of the letters as the name of the letter (em-le-em) like you would for INXS for example.

      According to dictionary.com it’s pronounced mlem 😀. They do go on to explain it as:

      The sound a dog (or other animal, such as a cat) makes when its tongue darts out to lick its nose or chops is called a mlem, in onomatopoeic imitation of the action.

      So given your avi, you just need to listen to your cat for a while!

          Haha, I’d heard it called a “blep” before but mlem was new to me too.
