Duh, a squirrel.  It's so obvious ...

They're cute.  Imagine a stylized cartoon squirrel with a flowing mane,
like a horse or a lion, sitting on it's haunches while munching a nut.

They're small.  They're ubiquitous.  They're dexterous.  They're
flexible.  They're acrobatic.  That describes Forth as well, correct?

They're smart.  They're curious.  They're creative.  They're determined.
That describes most, or at least a few, Forth programmers, yes?

They also go forth and bury nuts.  Their chirps sound like they're
already saying "Forth."

What isn't there to love about a squirrel?  They're most likely to
inherit the earth.

You also can't rhyme some negative or swear word with "squirrel" to
make an insult about Forth, either.  E.g., punk or bunk etc with
"chipmunk".  Well, you might be able to rhyme something with squirrel
if you're a skilled rapper.  Apparently, Eminem rhymes words with
"orange" all the time just to prove it can be done.
