Toot

If you are a designer or developer, it is illegal for you to read this post. I will report you to the FBI (maybe).

Ok so everyone else: You know how the hamburger menu—three dashes stacked on top of each other—has become a 'three dots' menu in many or most places?

I think this is the first time I've heard of the latter referred to as the "kebab menu." Heh

@chartier You would think a kebab would have a line through it. 🤔

Never heard this either.

@Brian Probably an unnecessary design detail

@chartier and when it's three dots in a horizontal row it's a meatball menu. I've also seen the vertical one called a dango, which is fun. 🍡
