Do people just know names of patterns and have a favorite?
I'm Camouflage Meatloaf and this is NPR.
oh, its vermicular michaelis. right.
Paisley. I finally can stop calling it "that paramecium design".
Paisley shirts were all the rage at one time
Why would you want to stop calling it that!?
Excellent question.
Flashback to when you used to be able to make stuff like this your desktop background, just changing the pattern, color, and if it would fill/tile/stretch etc.
Hm... It says common fabric patterns, so it probably doesn't have that one 90's paper cup pattern. I want to know if that one has a name.

Amazing. It has a name that perfectly fits the vibe! :D
I feel like that design was used everywhere back in the '90s not just on disposable cups.
I'm fairly sure it was used at the leisure centre I went to at one point. Probably without permission but I'm not sure if you can really copyright blue squiggle on turquoise squiggle.
I used to know a person named Jazz, so that works
You could go with a fractal. There's that one that's made out of Triforces.
Next you’re gonna tell me you don’t have a favorite bacteria.
Don't bacilli, everyone has a favourite bacteria.
Don’t be so cocci! Not everyone likes the same vibrio. I hope that doesn’t sound too savagella.
Yea a lot of people do.
