(13,919 posts)I really do not get "squee" feelings from people grubs. Or birds at any stage of development. Or most mammals. Some of them have a sleek kinda beauty, or eye catching characteristics. But squee? None for me, thanks.
Ok, maybe I exaggerate a bit for hyperbole sake. I may or may not admit at times to finding some potentially "cute" factors existing in certain animals of the youthful persuasion, such as otters, ferrets or squirrels. And an occasional dog or cat. And maybe one in 30 people grubs(the rest are hideous). But you cannot prove it. Squee, like "cold", is purely a state of mind, with no scientific reality. I refuse to be cold, and I feel no need for squee.
Oh... Also...
