What is the difference between a Flutherite and a Jelly?

More importantly, what’s the difference between a Jelly and a Flutherite?

The world made sense until I read this question.

@monsoon Really?

@monsoon If this thread makes you question reality, prepare to have your world rocked.

Well for one, who ever heard of a peanut butter and flutherite sandwich?
As for me, I’m neither. I’m a Lurvert.

Am I a flutherite dreaming she is a jelly, or am I a jelly dreaming she is a flutherite dreaming she is a jelly?

All flutherfolk will want to know.

@AstroChuck Dohoho! Zinger!

Awesomeness.

A Jelly is way better than a Flutherite. There! I said it! Jelly is the better term!

Flutherite makes it sound like we’re some bizarre cult.

Yes, really.

So we are called ”Jellies” not
”Flutherites”?

Six of one, half dozen of another. I’ll answer to either. :)

@augustlan- Hi, either!

I used to work with a women who specialized in creative reconstruction of English. She would have said, “It’s six and a half dozen of the other.”

What about Flutherers? What are they?

@eponymoushipster They aren’t Jellies or Flutherites for sure.

@Tink1113 like Trekkers v. Trekkies?

@eponymoushipster Exactly like that, also Tweakers and Tweakettes

Regardless, all of this doesn’t matter. We are the Collective.

Besides, the word “Flutherite” doesn’t make much sense to me. That’s akin to calling a wolf – that is part of a pack – a “Packite.”

@Grisaille Dont you mean “We are a Collective”?

@Tink1113: No, no. The Collective. We’ve, ahem, removed the others.

this conversation is getting weird.

@EmpressPixie Ah, thanks :)

What could possibly be more inspiring and satisfying than a weird conversation?

What’s the difference between the Sharks and the Jets? The Greasers and The Whatever the Other Group Was Called in The Outsiders? Tastes Great and Less Filling? When it comes right down to it there is no difference. We are all Jellies. We are all Flutherites. We are all Lurverts.

Now, who wants to join me in a chorus of Kumbaya?

@SuperMouse Fuck Kumbaya. I came here to get down, old skool.

Haha you guys are awesome!!

@Grisaille lol4rl!

Jelly is the more informal term.

The Sharks and the Jets were deadly rivals! I think this is more like the difference between Americans and Yankees, or Englishmen and Brits. One is a more “official” term and the other is a casual nickname.

ahem. The CIA is probably tuning in just about now. Let’s just say we’re “us.”

Or, in case we have to use “us” as a subject in a sentence, “we.”

A Jelly is an individual user and a Flutherite is part of a collective. Other names for a Jelly collective are a Bloom, or smack, smuck, brood, and smuth,

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am a member of Evelyn’s Jelly Pod. No weird cults for me, thank you very much. =)

@EmpressPixie who are the others?

I think Jelly sounds better than Flutherite.

‘flutherite’ brings ‘flutheritis’ to mind. i think using ‘flutherite’ is more appropriate in the context when you’re referring to someone as a fluther addict, but ‘jelly’ is more appropriate in general, when referring to yourself or someone else as part of the community.
perhaps there are books to be written on the topic.
or maybe, this will be the next theist vs atheist question!
