Or bird watching.
I was wondering what you guys think of the word twitching used for bird watching, I think its a poor term.
Its like, you have this hobby thats about as nerdy as they come, and when people ask you what your past time is, you either have to say bird watching (look like a nerd) or twitching.
Not everyone knows what twitching is, ok most of us do but people like my mum for example wouldn't have a clue.
So here's a scenario, pat and suzanne on their first date:
Suzanne : So yeah my year's been a success. So, what do you do in your spare time?
Pat : I'm a twitcher.
Suzanne : Sorry you do what?
Pat : I twitch.
Suzanne : Do you take medication for that?
Pat : No it means I like to watch-
Suzanne : Right thats it! I'm leaving.
If you say you're a twitcher it sounds like you have a physical ailment.
Just wondering what do you guys think?
PS I am not a birdwatcher.
