Apparently not. Twigs are still attached to the tree and are also flexible. Sticks are detached and dry, so they are not flexible.
That means if a branch or twig falls off the tree, it isn't immediately a stick! It has to dry out a bit, and then it's a stick! God damn. We really have words to differentiate anything and everything. 😮
Actually, by virtue of it not being attached to the tree anymore after it has fallen, it no longer is a twig even if it hasn’t fully dried up yet. So until it has fully dried, it’s in a state where it’s both twig and stick. A twick if you will.

Plus, if it fell off the tree it would be a twig at best.

Did you just attack its girth and imply it's too skinny? 😡

A twig? Are you daft man? It's obviously a stick! LOOK at it!

Excuse me, but it is TOTALLY WRONG to put a comma after the word "prove."
WoodScientist@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 354d
I disagree. I would classify this as more of a branch than a stick.
spazzman6156@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 354d
Nope. Twig.
pebbles@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 354d

I'm sorry, but that is actually a $150 table centerpiece from Pier 1 Imports. It adds a touch of natural feeling to your home decor.

This is a twig. Are twigs sticks? 🤔
