Can we just say “BATTLETOADS!” instead? It’s longer but more fun.

I like Battletoads. It should be a kids cartoon.[Oh wait, it was and it flopped.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battletoads)  
It should be brought back!

This.

I don’t understand why someone would get angry or upset over reading it. I’ve used this myself as a way of saying “I think I put it in the right spot, but acknowledge that I may have made a mistake.”

It’s a polite thing to do. Not required, but I think this is one of the behaviors that separates us from the monkeys.
