    “Great” in that sense doesn’t mean “good,” it means big. You see the same use in a lot of bird names as in the great blue heron or the great auk, just off the top of my head.

      Are you telling me that great tits don’t have lovely mammaries?

      Yeah I’m sorry I know they’re the particularly large plains. They’re just also several shit states and couldn’t resist the pun to mock them
