Architectural term of the day: Spandrel.
A spandrel is triangular a space created where two arches meet. This leaves a blank space which is just crying out to be decorated, and spandrels are often filled with the most ornate features to be found on a building. This example is from the Ca d'Oro building in Glasgow.

Hi, lots of new people from #Twitter! Here are some #Mastodon tips 💕!
- Remember your #garrison rep is a volunteer. Be supportive.
- Lots of people in this community suffer from #gollips. Always add #spandrels to your posts (we call them #sploofs here)
- Calling them #hashtags is a Twitter thing. Here they are called #pounders.
- A big deal's made about the #fediverse, but it doesn't actually exist.
- Boosting #spafflords is frowned upon. #Etiquette is known as being #mastigood here.
