Tots could

"Tots could" emerged from the legend of a creature called "Tots." This creature eats people who say extremely stupid things in response to normal reactions or statements. However, since people are quite stupid, it takes a while for Tots to identify and devour them. To activate him, people recite the ancient mantra: "Tots could." Mind you, you CANNOT by ANY means complete the sentence ("Tots could eat you"), for that is the greatest sin and disgrace to Lord Tots.

Tethys:"Tots could right now"
