@aral Only learned that neologism three years ago. Any idea of the origin? To me and many others, it's a "notification".

The use of a word that can mean either:

1. A charred piece of bread OR
2. A salutation typically delivered while holding aloft an alcoholic beverage

... seems an odd choice for a UX pattern.

@elight Yeah, I guess it came from the analogy of movement between toast popping out of a toaster and how the messages usually appear on screen.
