You'll hear it on occasion. "Squashed Gopher". And if you are new to AW, you'll have no idea what we are talking about.
These links explain - as much of it as could possibly be explainable - which isn't really a lot.

FAQ: What can you do with a squashed gopher?
Mac Explains how it started

And here's a quote from Medievalist regarding the Squashed Gopher trend:
MacAllister used to have this avatar. It's a petroglyph of a coyote.

Someone suggested that it looked more like a squashed gopher. I don't remember who . . . but there were a lot of jokes made about it, and then, when MacAllister became the owner of AW, there were a bunch of folks who showed support for her by changing their avatar or user title to something gopherish
