Ok my real pitch is: something that can have agency, so that when the word substitution happens, you still have a parseable sentence, most of the time. Take “Garbage Ape” (from the heathcliff comics I guess), for example:

  • “I am a Garbage Ape ethicist”
  • “It’s Garbage Ape Welfare discussion week”
  • “I prompted a Garbage Ape to generate these image”
  • “I think Garbage Apes pose a serious existential threat”
  • “We’re proud to announce our new Garbage Ape, Steve”

Though it’s hard to pick a thing that conjures the right image.

Sounds like an internet binary question. I choose the blue/black bear named Yanni to debate a horse sized duck ballerina that only rotates left about whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich

It's difficult thinking of something better than butt, or even anything that isn't butt-adjacent (poop sandwich is my goto)

My pitch would be something garbage related. Hot wet trash, maybe?

I enjoyed this. I wondered how Australian you would sound, and you sound reasonably Australian.

But just enough fingers!

I know I’m not the target audience for this but I’m a couple stiff drinks in and reading this at a bar so the large text is greatly appreciated.

Ok so this comment made me realise I had incorrectly parsed these comments. They are far, far worse than what I thought they were saying originally. Thanks!

I’d say your instincts are correct and I too will dare not venture down that path.
