I was watching friends, and this scene came on. Instantly made me think of GNU plus Linux.

Linux doesn't require gnu though

When people talk about Linux, they are generally referring to both though (yes, I know there are exceptions to this). Android uses the Linux kernel, but no one calls it "Linux".

There are people that don’t refer to Android as Linux?

So...maybe we should have a way to differentiate Android from what people mean when they talk about Linux distros. I propose GNU/Linux.

I do, because it is. OSX is also a *BSD.

That's fair, but most people don't.
