Although I have also grown fond of calling them skeets, that still is an analogy to tweets, and perhaps it is about time we leave that era behind. In order to acknowledge history, we may still call them after our mascot. A bird may tweet, but what kind of a word can do a butterfly justice?

(inspired by @creativeanatta.me who already has answered the question for the german language by calling them schmetts)

Flaps? It actually kinda works, most are quickly lost, but you never know which one will start a hurricane down the line.

Can also be easily turned into a verb, just as “to tweet” was.

and it's a little more subtle but it would still infuriate the people who think skeet is too dirty, I wouldn't mind talking up how great my flaps are
