Click bait…
I have no idea what you mean about 'click bait'.
Ummmm…it was a joke sir. A reference to a vague thread title that “makes” you click on it out of pure, morbid curiosity to see what the thread is about. Poking fun at the boss for “violating” his own directive…
Example of click bait thread title:
“I was driving down the highway this afternoon and…………”
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 February 03, 2023, 08:09 AM

And yes, now and then I use the help of my presentation 'Geiriadur Mawr' - 'big dictionary', presented to me by the Welsh Language Society for my efforts, as a foreigner, to foster the use of the original language of Mainland Great Britain before the Romans came.
Hell, I just used google translator. I assume my reply is on track but really have no idea if it is or not.

Yuppers, it's pretty good - which one is it?
Hey, nice to meet you, too! I'm just an ordinary regular kind of guy, posting here more in memory of times past, when I was a SIG owner. As such I have very little to offer the assembled audience, apart from a different take on any number of things, especially gun ownership. Here in UK I have twenty-three rifles and two handguns - not that it matters much to the 'multi-gunned' assembly here - and get to shoot two or three times a week.

bordethWhen I saw this post title...I thought it was tied to a translation of the POTATUS' latest speech.

jhe888The Welsh don't call it that among themselves. They are just fucking with the English.

I think they just shorten it to "Llanfair".
I eventually leaned to more or less pronounce "Llandudno", a city where our choir sang a concert.
