You will choose synonyms to replace the bold words in the sentences provided below.

This is the question I have to answer;
Millions of users attempted to log into Twitter only to be greeted by the service's iconic "fail whale," the image of a cartoon whale being hoisted into the air by a flock of birds, signaling a site outage.

anonymous · Answer

I already have a synonym picked out. (famous). but I don't know how explain why I picked it.

adrynicoleb · Answer

Well do you know why you picked it? :P

anonymous · Answer

Because that's like Twitter's famous icon.

anonymous · Answer

Does this sound good? @adrynicoleb
I chose the word “famous”, because the original word “iconic” indicates that Twitter is known for their “fail whale”.
