Use of "Somepony" online and in public

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Nope. I usually see that as a sign of "oh one of my fellows!" 

[Pastel 7,630]

Agreed, however I like to use it when I talk about the characters of the show.

Actually referring to people, I do find it kinda cringy, but I would use it if I'm specifically talking about the characters in the show. Since they are ponies

[alpinefroggy 451]

It's weird for me if someone purposely does it. But I think it's fine when it accidentily happens like when in public. I have written in papers in school lately to weird ? Marks by teachers and also accidentily said it among confused company.

[SkullcandyPegasus 603]

While it's socially awkward, language evolves and perhaps it'll become the norm. I still have difficulties talking to those who use "like" incorrectly, so I will gladly suffer the consequences of my archaic dialog.

 

Do as you will though; it harms none.

[Monsoon 1,662]

I have no problem when people use those terms maybe yea in public it might make me cringe but apart from that I'm fine with that

[Steve Piranha 29,428]

Not much, as it's not my problem how other bronies act inside or outside of context. I don't make a habit of doing so, I make pony terms from time on time here, but you might see it's far often I don't than I do

[The Professor...8D 823]

I have to say yes.............it's "okay".......int he context of the show.........but when I read it here and other places.............yes.......I cringe.............No offense...........

[Dawning Demon 950]

I admit that I've used the word "Somepony" once or twice, but only on this forum though. :3

 

Saying it in public with none Bronies would just make things weird and awkward for everyone xD

[Omar 692]

I do find it annoying at times when people say somepony, but if it's here on this forum I'm completely fine with it (sometimes I'm even tempted to say it).

[InfectedPone 1,550]

I think it's fine up to once or twice between bronies, but if they use it too much or to non bronies, yeah, it's pretty cringeworthy.

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

No, I don't find it cringy. I think it's cool that some bronies want to use some pony slang when they feel like it. It creates a way of talking distinct from the majority.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

nope I proudly say my Ponyism... Online and Offline.... well not all the time.... but I don't find it cringe worthy

[Thorn O Discord 118]

If I see it online, I kinda sigh and facepalm, but if someone said 'Somepony' in public, I would avoid that person like the plague. (Though I did slip up and say everypony once in public, so maybe I should be nicer...)

[Yoshi89 5,293]

I came close to saying "Manehattan" at work once. I got around it by turning it into "Main Street"

Yeah, for me it's a matter of habit. I use it all the time with fellow fans. I think it'd be weird using it in non-brony settings, though. I have to catch myself from using it in those situations because I'm so used to it. 

[SteveMorison 404]

I honestly hate when the show refers to even non-ponies as "somepony" or "everypony". For example at the start of PYHD Fluttershy is feeding her anals and says "good nutrition for everypony" or something like that.

[Honsou 399]

It depends on the place and context. You wouldn't see someone at work yelling "EVERYPONY, GET TO THE BLANKETY BLANK MOTORPOOL TIME NOW!!!" It would be awkward in the extreme.

[Justin_Case001 4,899]

All depends on the context.  Like comedy, you need to know when to use it and when not to.  It can be really cute, if used properly.  Personally, I don't think I'd ever cringe at it.  I'd just be tickled to death to meet another brony, period.

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

I just speak normally, but I don't mind if others decide to do so online.

If I ever heard it in public? Well that's another story. My wrath would finally be unleashed.

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

Once. I've only heard it outside a fan environment once. It was embarrassing for the both of us. Never happened again.

[Shou 100]

I don't mind when people use that term at all. Yes if it is said in public I tend to roll my eyes but I don't hate it lol. Lots worse you could do right?

[Auburn 23]

I've found it's become a bit of a habit in my case and I have to catch myself at times.

I do agree that it can be a little cringe worthy from time to time, especially when it's said in the wrong place at the wrong time.

At conventions, meet ups or around the pony community I don't see any harm and in fact I find it's rather fun!

The only time I find it cringy is when its overly used and is in pretty much in every sentence, but honestly it wouldn't bother me at all, heck I'd probably join in!

[Overlord0909 479]

I wouldn't cringe, but would be like: "You a brony too?" Then he/she would say yes, then we'd be best friends forever. :3 But I'll admit, it'd be socially awkward.

[Guest]

I wouldn't do it personally, just because it feels weird and out-of-place. If I heard someone saying everypony I'd think it was more funny than 'cringey'.
