Don't Stop Coal Now!

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

Sure, I agree, if "so much as a kudo" is a deliberate nonstandard usage for comic effect, like saying "sheeps" on purpose because it sounds funny. Maybe that was the intention. I kind of doubt it, but there's no way to prove it wasn't.

For my part, I'm going to leave off here and agree to amiably disagree (this is definitely not a hill I care to die on), but man, it'll be something if the big wank we finally get for YT 2021 turns out to be the kudo vs. kudos wank...

It doesn't have to be deliberate - that kind of connotational choice is often as subconscious as body language.

I very much enjoyed reading the linguistics debate, and would 100% leave a kudos AND a comment if it was a fic!
