Unnecessary Canon Ponification

[Justin_Case001 4,938]

I love how they ponify words on the show.  I've always found that very cute.  But I also find it kind of funny that they ponify things that don't really make sense.  For instance, they say, "scaredypony".  We don't say "scaredyperson".  It's "scaredycat".  It would still be scaredycat, wouldn't it?  They have cats.  And they play pin the tail on the pony at parties.  Even if humans had tails, I don't think it would be pin the tail on the human.  It's pin the tail on a lower lifeform.  So, I guess it should be pin the tail on the squirrel.  And they say "for pony's sake".  We don't say, "for human's sake".  It's for God's sake, or for f*ck's sake, something like that.  Now, it makes sense when they say "for Celestia's sake", which they have done on occasion.  How about when Twi asked, about Mi Amore Cadenza, "Who in the hoof is that?"  It sounds like, "who in the heck/hell is that", I get it, but again, we don't say "Who in the hand/fist is that".  And I guess the most glaring example of all is that humans don't live in Humanville, or Personville.  (But Who's do live in Whoville...)  I'm not saying they should change any of it.  I love these ponifications because they're cute.  It's just funny when you think about it.  Any other example you can think of?

I ponify song lyrics I hear on the radio all the time, and yes I can make them work.

 

For Example, a lot of the oldie songs ~60s-70s and some 80s, replace the word Man with Mare.

 

Mind you, not all of them will work, Your results may differ!

There is some of that but if you really want blatant examples of that try watching the Smurfs cartoon. They literally use "Smurf" for almost everything.
