For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Pretty sure the writer meant “running” but since they were trying to convey slowness WRT top speed, their brain instinctively swapped in the more appropriate-sounding word for their intent.

It’s a common human language error, examples of which I find increasingly charming.
