This is a weird one. It’s obviously personalized, but what on earth could HATULIM mean?<\/p>\n

I first read it as “Hate You, Lim”–which only leads us to the question of what Lim could be. Limitations? A guy named Limothy?<\/p>\n

In my research, I have also discovered that Hatulim may be a Hebrew word that either means “mockery” or “cats” depending on the source. Those words seem somewhat related anyway. Maybe if it’s the latter, this person should meet Mr. Purr Nice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s all of these at once. This person loves cats, enjoys mocking people, and hates when Limothy limits his mocking.<\/p>\n
