    Athanasius has it spot on. I listen to podcasts on my commute, and frequently there's an appeal to find the "donut" button. At least, that's how I hear it, or want to hear it. "There's a donut button on the website?!"

    One of my flaws is forgetting that English is squishier to foreign ears. Idioms, puns, and cultural references don't translate well. Sorry. Sorry in advance for the next +inf times I do that.

    Thanks for pointing out you couldn't find the donut button. I had a tiny smile at the thought of someone looking for it, and being mildly disappointed. (I hope you didn't spend a lot of time on it though.) I'd be impressed if you did find it. (Maybe you can make a personal nodelet donut or CSS or something, and pass that around?)

    So yes, it's the donate button. We'd probably get more $donations if it was a $donuts button. Maybe I'll take that up with the PM Gods.

      I did find a "stumbit" button on my profile (edit):

      <input name="sexisgood" value="stumbit" type="submit">

      Personally, I would have preferred crumpit.

      ETA: 'stumbit' - intentional or not?
