IS THAT FISH DIALED IN OR DILLY DALLYING?!

TIME TO FIND OUT

[dialed-in-or-dilly-dallying]

if i have reblogged your post and you dont want it on here, please shoot me an ask/DM letting me know so i can remove the poll :-)

hello!

this is a poll blog where you can help determine whether a fish (or any aquatic creature) is 'dialed in' OR 'dilly dallying' :-)

i LOVE getting submissions please submit something 💖 all i ask is that there is at least one aquatic creature clearly visible (also if you could include the image source that'd be great too!)

[in the event of a tie, they will be classified as 'dial dallying', which is a made up nonsense term that doesn't mean anything.

you all have one job, and that job is avoiding a dial-dally by any means necessary 🫵]

i will add the winning option to the tags of the post, so you can search 'dialed in' and find all the fish that were classified as dialed in etc.

"What do those words mean?"

PLEASE feel free to submit posts using either the submission tool or the askbox!!!

heads up also because this is something i've noticed - if you are a terf and i notice you in my notifications i will probably block you. this is a blog for people to be silly together, not for hate and bigotry.

locked-in-or-tweaking -> dialed-in-or-dilly-dallying

you can search 'locked in' or 'tweaking' to find all the posts from before the name-switch

"why did you change your name?" the words i was using before originate from AAVE! below is a great resource on learning more about that
