"OMG I only just got why RuPaul says 'squirrel friends'," they wrote.

"I don't know why but it only clicked in my head when I heard Shea say it on Untucked today. It's because squirrels hide their nuts. Am I the only one that just got that?"

And other users also took to the post in surprise, with one adding: "I'm glad I was sitting down when I read this. I honestly thought it was just because squirrel rhymes with girl."

While one fan commented: "OH MY GOD have you guys ever heard something a 1000 times before getting it."

"OMG, I didn't know either! Thank you for opening my eyes, lmao," wrote another.

Over on Twitter, other fans had been noticing it for the first time too (
