Click the hamburger (3 vertical lines) in the top right corner of the screen

I found it humorous that they simply call it 'the hamburger', and that they confused vertical with horizontal.

Could be 3 very wide and short-in-height lines stacked vertically?
That's not vertical lines.
This blew my mind. I'm aware that HN frowns upon such comments, but I just had to take my hat off to you.
They could have confused orientation with arrangement.
I always call it the hamburger menu, especially when doing tech support for everyone.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

GP notes that they omit the ´menu´ part of it.
I still call them toaster slots.
That button is really called that but it's odd on a professional site
I've heard "hamburger menu", but never just "the hamburger".
I'd love to see a website or app stylize their hamburger menu button as an actual hamburger.
I'm working on a food-related app and this might actually be a consideration.
I've seen the three lines adorned with a bun and some lettuce.
