Do people just know names of patterns and have a favorite?
I'm Camouflage Meatloaf and this is NPR.
Flashback to when you used to be able to make stuff like this your desktop background, just changing the pattern, color, and if it would fill/tile/stretch etc.
Paisley. I finally can stop calling it "that paramecium design".
Why would you want to stop calling it that!?
Excellent question.
Paisley shirts were all the rage at one time

Amazing. It has a name that perfectly fits the vibe! :D

I'm fairly sure it was used at the leisure centre I went to at one point. Probably without permission but I'm not sure if you can really copyright blue squiggle on turquoise squiggle.
I used to know a person named Jazz, so that works

Don't bacilli, everyone has a favourite bacteria.
Don’t be so cocci! Not everyone likes the same vibrio. I hope that doesn’t sound too savagella.
Yea a lot of people do.
