Because tweet never had any negative connotations before Twitter took it on. It's the sound a bird makes. Toot is slang for farting which doesn't have the greatest associations. It's also like skeet for blue sky. I get why the owners wouldn't want a word that has a whole and common on their platform community that knows that word as slang for ejaculation.

All of that nonsense is hilarious. Toot and skeet sound absolutely ridiculous. At least it’s amusing seeing people trying to make fetch happen.

I'm four years old and I think it's funny. Also, "skeet" as slang for "blue sky"? I love it, you're a visionary, how do we make this happen?
