I didn’t, but I thought the word Fluther had a nice ring to it. It took me a while to put two and two together, that there were jellyfish all over the site, and what Fluther meant.

Nope.
@The_Anonymous_Witch A fluther is what they call a group of jellyfish. Like a pack of dogs or a herd of cattle or a parliament of owls.
