Does The Word Everypony Sound A Bit Silly?

The point I'm trying to across is that does it bug you everytime the ponies say Everypony? I personally think the word Everyone sounds better.

 

This is one of those aspects of the show that works pretty well in animation, but feels awkward (or creepy) when a member of the fanbase tries to use it IRL.

It's a cute little addition to the show, in my opinion. I find it awkward when people say it in real life. I have a friend who says "everybrony" instead of "everypony", since we're not ponies, but we are bronies. :)

I've always felt that "everypony" is one of the wittiest aspects of the dialogue in the show :) And I myself went around saying "everypony" and "nopony" to fellow fans with enthusiasm for two or three years :) I've been deliberately saying "everyone" and "no one" lately though; I started feeling self-conscious and it started feeling a bit silly after the the novelty of it wore off a little. I still love hearing it in the show though :)

I refrain from using it unless it's roleplaying a character. It's just doesn't feel natural to call people "ponies."

in the show it makes sense that they would say it. I've never spoken it IRL though I do use it when typing here sometimes when refering the ponies and not people.

I kind of have a problem with it in the show because it seems to dismiss other sentient species as nearly being non-entities.  I mean, having Spike use the term "everypony" is EXTREMELY awkward because, not being a pony, he is implicitly excluded.  And since ponies clearly have bodies and standard numbers, using "everybody" or "everyone" would be perfectly acceptable.

 

As for in the brony community, I take issue with it for the sheer fact that just because we are fans of the show does not make us ponies ourselves.  Some bronies may not have a pony OC - they may have another species OC, or no OC at all.  Therefore the term "everypony" seems implicitly exclusionary to them as well.  It also seems to distance bronies from non-bronies, rather than being the all-inclusive "love and tolerate" group that we should be.

I've let it slip accidentally IRL a few times...xD

No one really noticed though.

 

I think it sounds sound. It rolls off the tongue nicely.
