most do, usually after "typify" and before "typography"

Not sure if anyone else would take it that way though.

+1

immediately evokes fight or flight for me. but i mean that angle could do if the bird thing is important, fight or flight might be a fine template to work from as long as the punchline lands on the more favourable "fight" side of things

you're right, and I'm sorry for implying innate favourability of one over the other, there are very real situations where pressure to conform to societal expectations of fortitude can complicate snap-decision making in potentially dangerous ways. with that acknowledged though, I don't think its off-base to say there is a big difference between

receiving a title

that immortalizes one's penchant for staunchness, and one based on walking away, not to say that one has more value than the other. maybe LLD feels differently, but idk, gifting a title that could be interpreted that way seems weird to me.
