“Be a unicorn, not a twatopotamus”

“Be a unicorn, not a twatopotamus” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The saying means that one should be a “unicorn” (someone unique and interesting) and not a “twatopotamus” (twat + hippopotamus; someone annoying and stupid).
 
“Be A Unicorn, Not A Twatopotamus” was posted on Twitter by Ginger on October 10, 2017. “Be a #unicorn not a #twatopotamus” was posted on Twitter by Lisa Muirhead on October 25, 2017. “Be A Unicorn Not A Twatopotmus” (shown on an image) was posted on Facebook by Stephanie L Henckel on October 27, 2017. The saying probably originated with this image (posted earlier).
     
“Be a yogacorn, not a twatopotamus” is another saying that has been printed on many images. “Yogacorn” appears to be a unicorn that does yoga. “Unicorn Be a Yogacorn not twatopotamus shirt” was posted on Twitter by Rex tees on April 20, 2018. “Unicorn – Be A Yogacorn Not A Twatopotamus Shirt, Tank” was posted on Twitter by MyTshirt on April 23, 2018.
