@Lady she was explaining why she was trying to standardize a term today, in 2024
@kiesa its certainly only decorative now!
@yesbait windows here mostly slide up and down rather than swinging in or out — i’m pretty sure all the ones i’ve seen that do swing opened out but that being the “right” way is a pretty weak opinion? (opening out is nice though because then it doesn’t get in the way of the screen)
@wikipediahaiku are u sure
@aescling @alyssa @wallhackio we should!

@Betty this doesn’t feel totally out of left field as an evocative term, eg. coppertone obviously used the same language to convey the aesthetic of a deep tan
but i’m also not sure exactly what they are trying to evoke, either
@Betty Lan Huan probably DOES have to like you a lot to admit he hates you to your face tbf
