[FEATURE] "thinking" status words should be changeable. They are arguably "too amusing", too distracting, and not informative.

Problem Statement
When claude code is thinking about what to do, it prints out "amusing" status words like "catapulting", "sauteing", "gusting", "seasoning", etc. I find those "clever" funny status words distracting.
Proposed Solution
I'd prefer if I could configure it to just print out "thinking" (and perhaps "searching" or "editing") as appropriate, and have that change be sticky and apply across all my claude code sessions.
Alternative Solutions
I can't think of an alternative.

Medium - Would be very helpful
