Problem Statement
I quasi-enjoy Claude Code’s quasi-humorous repertoire of quasi-present-participle euphemisms for “thinking” (“Gusting” is alllllmost a fart joke 😃). However, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them all by now, and I’m bored.
Proposed Solution
I’m requesting that these verbs be user-configurable. I would like to be able to control/maintain Claude’s “thinking” vocabulary myself so I can introduce him to the wider world of fart jokes, toilet humor, penis pranks, etc. (for my eyes and personal amusement only, of course). You see, the task of telling Claude what code to write is significantly more boringer than actually writing my own code, so I feel that the least I should be able to expect of him is that he periodically punctuate the monotony of my day with a smirk/giggle/snort by informing me, apropos of nothing, that he is ball-fondling, fart-noodling, pocket-pooling, scrodaddling, slurping, drooling, Hershey-squirting…you get the picture. #blamecanada
Of course, the less cultured user may wish to adopt a more low-brow theme, something like poseying, kaleidoscoping, muraling, astro-planing, suntanning or some such filth. To each their own, I suppose.
All kidding aside, this seems like a fairly small lift, technologically, and I think Claude users everywhere would appreciate this feature.
