Like I was saying: topic #25718

Since this was brought up again, I went ahead and fixed the ones that looked more like puff_of_air. If one wanted to be difficult, one could argue that "about to boil over" steaming (as seen in post #6591616, post #4906695, post #6561659, post #6076360, etc.) is not the same thing as ordinary breath.

Oh. Apologies for creating a duplicate BUR. I didn't notice you already have the same thing pending. Also thank you for taking care of the edge cases!

This sounds like a case for deprecation, rather than alias. We want those posts to be searchable, and aliasing this tag to breath would just make things worse. Not sure what a proper tag for those posts could be called though.

It seems to me that a good tag for the "angry" kind of mouth steam should express both the distinctness of the phenomenon and its similarity to breath. I propose menacing_breath. It would probably not be used spontaneously all that often, but it's less ambiguous than alternatives like fuming_breath (fume and fuming_(expression) were already deprecated/rejected for that reason, see topic #24907). Does that choice sound OK to anyone else?

Edit: breath_of_fury also indicates what the tag is about, and has a certain ring to it.
