Heh, heh, I’m old enough to remember post WWII housing developments with backyard fences and clotheslines and stay at home Moms raising the kids.
The term “giraffe” or sometimes “your friendly neighborhood giraffe” referred to the local busybody. Backfence gossip was the equivalent of the jungle telegraph so the local giraffe was whoever saw all and told all.

Elsie,
As much as you frustrate me with your robo-posts, you still prove you are human by coming up with these great one-liners. Thanks for the laugh.
To: T. P. Pole
What’s so frustrating about them?

They are so long that they become content-free. And there are so many that they tend to become spam-ish. I suspect that most people on both sides just skip them. Especially since they tend to look alike, leading one to think that it is the same post over and over. I have noticed that you try to link the topic of the post to whatever the topic in the thread is, but I am not so sure that everybody else does.
I don't think they lead to discussion. It is like someone jumping into the room, screaming for five minutes, then leaving. It tends to stop the conversation.
