Love TMNT, from way back. Talking about watching the original cartoon when I was in first grade. 1988 son.

I like it because it's a signature saying.

I always found the 'turtles' a bit odd. I couldn't place it. But that I know where it ame from I think it's very cool. I was a huge Turtles fan in my youth.

I like it!  Actually, it was your constant use of the term "turtles" that intrigued me and kept me coming back at first.  I never took it as an insult or was disgusted by it.  Great vids.  Keep them up!

I've been a subscriber for quite awhile and really like your channel, it's laid back, informative content, variety, y'know pretty much everything.  I've been waiting for this video and respect and Honor you for doing it.  Probably watched about 2 vids before muting the first bit because it offended my spiituality   I muted it this time.  Your explaination rings true. I will Honor your tradition and will wear the Title, Proudly!  Blessed Be, Grandson

I like the idea of turtles = backpackers.

[EarlyMist]

A guy I worked with called people being silly: " Pelicans". Fairly similar reasoning.

[philipculbertson]

Always wondered. Now I know. Peace my brother.

[almollitor]

I was kinda hoping it was some reference to "Turtle Island."

[maribelcosta]

Turtles are beautiful and amazing creatures. I like it!

[Gullrica]

Ahhh. So you DO say turtles. I was not sure and couldn´t understand why, if I heard it right. And too stubborn to ask :) Good you explained! Saved me a lot of wondering!
Thanks for a great channel. Keep up the good work. I like turtles :) 

[MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

Well I'm a rabbit & I have samurai sword's.. So I guess that makes me Usagi Yojimbo..

[danielklee]

Don't drop it. Some folks these days are just too easily offended. I still like it.

Were there really that many people upset by turtles that it had to be clarified? Ah the internet is a strange and wonderful thing.
