I hate the name “Yeti.” Let’s go back to the original name, the “Abominable Snowman.”

How often do you get to use the work “abominable”?

Actually, it’s about time we started calling them “Abominable Democrats.”

I recall reading a story about somebody years and years ago and their encounter in the Himalayas. They claimed the Yeti was a small creature.

https://www.tibettravel.org/tibetan-people/himalayan-mystery-yeti.html

Hmm. I didn’t find the story I was thinking of, but the translation of Yeti is “small, man-like creature”.

And the Abominable Snowman (fun to say, hard to spell) is a miss-translation:

“A sherpa told them these were the imprints of a “metoh-kangmi,” which translates roughly to “man-bear snow-man.” Later, when this expedition was covered by journalist Henry Newman, he made the mistake of translating “metoh” into “filthy” rather than “man-bear,” and then decided instead of the word filthy, he would use “abominable.” Thus was born the illusive Abominable Snowman, unseen but known for his very large footprints.”
