I like the sand cat:

It looks like it gets distracted all the time and starts new side projects.

    I have used this phrase a lot, but in the last couple of years I’ve seen usage of this phrase by folks who aren’t Native Americans start to come under fire. I think it’s because it appropriates and makes light of Native American culture.

    I think what and how it is used for or interpreted as should be a factor to determine whether it is appropriation of Native American culture.

    I’m not a native english speaker, and often times the term in my mind can mean zodiac animals. I’m not saying they are the same thing. English is a common language, and people from other cultures may interpret the word differently.

    Hence I sometimes wonder whether there are other cultures across the world that use similar terms (eg totem symbolism), or whether such term can mean different things to other cultures. A blanket ban of the specific combination of these two words in english based on one some cultures may seem unfair to others if this is true. If anyone knows or has issues with the logic, please correct me.

    EDIT: see the discussion in the comments https://lemm.ee/comment/1954510

    EDIT 2: per below comment, Native American shouldn’t be treated as 1 culture.

    An octopus. Weird, inquisitive, and can hide when I don’t want attention.
    I’d probably taste delicious when deep fried and battered.

    the_itsb = the Ill-Tempered Sea Bass, and though it's a batfish and not a sea bass, I've always thought this guy conveys the ill-tempered part beautifully.

    Who I actually am as a person is a little more like some kind of crab. There's the strawberry crab, who is "small, brightly-colored ... known to be quite toxic," which sounds just like me without medication. 😂 And then there's the black-eyed hermit crab, who "often inhabits shells left by massive moon snails ... often covered with colorful pink anemone-like hydroids, making this critter even cuter."

    I'd like to say penguin, because I love them; but my experience keeps pointing me to a deer, whether I agree or not. My wife's seems to be a bee, for whatever reason. Just weird, coincidental observations that really made us wonder. But c'est la vie, I'm cool with a deer if it is what it is.

    But damn, do I love penguins

    In my mind, I'd probably like it to be something a bit noble. But my wife would probably say a Golden Retriever. All over the place energy that jumps between couch potato and hyperactive, pack/family oriented, and a bit dumdum. Can't say I totally disagree.
