ROCK YOUR FIRED

One of these days Carlos. Pow! Zoom! Straight to the back of your head with a nine iron!

@Hippodrome  
…You can’t see me, but I’m pouting.

@Scrounge  
Looks like you’re in for a downer:
 
“Buronii”

@Kawa  
I can’t read Jpanese, but if that doesn’t say “Poniisan”, I’m disappointed by the lack of punnery.

@Tenafly Viper  
meh, sometimes fans just like to identify themselves as a community by using a community nickname. Most fandom nicknames came about unintentionally anyway, it’s just whether or not if they stick. IIRC brony originated as a combination of /b/ro and pony since /b/ was one of the boards that pony stuff got spammed on a lot during early season 1, and the name just stuck. Even ICP’s “juggalos” fan nickname was created unintentionally during a live performance of the song “The Juggla” back in the 90s. (yes I’m something of a casual ICP fan, I probably know more about that group than you’d expect from someone who doesn’t actually call herself a “juggalo” or “juggalette”)

Hey, how about we just call fans of the show “fans of the show”?
 
>:I

Two Best Friends made a jabronies joke somewhat recently during Rustlemania. Pat’s always been inaccurately called a brony based on a joke from the Amnesia episode (one they admitted was staged), and then Pat saying he might have a small liking towards Insane Clown Posse in the “Barkyard Wrestling 2” video, prompting Matt to say a “jabrony” is what Pat is (a brony and a juggalo).

@Background Pony Number 17  
He was likely suggesting, mate.
 
Also, “Nippon” (にっぽん) is very valid in the language; don’t know where you get the corruption idea from. I can also see the pun working as well: にっポニーズ.
 
Nippon becomes derogatory in English when it’s shortened to “Nip” or “Nips”.
 
Know the difference.

@PonyPon  
It’s “japonies” not “nipponies”.
 
“Nippon” isn’t Japanese, it’s a Western corruption of the Japanese word for Japan, Nihon. So the pun doesn’t work in Japanese, and in English it would be derogatory.

I’ve heard the term Japonies thrown about a lot already.

@PonyPon  
First I hear of that. Actually sounds good.
 
I wouldn’t object to that label.

We call ’em ブロニー of course.

@Background Pony  
Sama here.

Japonies?

that was amusing imo, I laughed, I love bad puns

Race betrayers?

Nipponies?

Carlos!

How about bronies…
