MLP Forums Acronym and Slang Guide!

 

 

This guide here is designed to help out newcomers and everypony else who needs some clarification on the sometimes confusing acronyms of this awesome site. Whenever I came across such gibberish it would always make me feel left out and not apart of the 'group'. With this guide I hope everypony will be speaking the same language and on the same page!

 

 

 

If anypony has more ideas for what to add onto this list post a reply with the acronym or slang and add the definition and I'll add it in!

How does IMO has anything to do with the forums? If we should post "normal" slangs then this list would be over 9000 lines.

Just because I can, I'm going to come up with complicated terms.

 

Ponific: (pon-iff-ik) Pertaining to the show's canon. Content that is displayed within My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Endoponific: (en-doe-pon-iff-ik) Related to the show's canon but not actually part of the show itself. Content displayed in related or like-enfranchised material such as coloring books.

Exoponific: (ex-oh-pon-iff-ik) Diametrically referencing the show's canon but not part of it. Also known as fanon.

Xenoponific: (zee-noe-pon-iff-ik) Fanon indirectly inspired by ponific material, or directly inspired by other material (Crossovers). This is also known as External Exoponific.

Apocroponific: (ah-pawk-roe-pon-iff-ik) Unofficial material that is directly related to the show or endoponific reference. This includes leaked material, unreliable statements made by the show's cast or makers, or material that directly inspired things in the show that are not retroponific, such as movie shout-outs.

Retroponific: (ret-t-ro-pon-iff-ik) Pertaining to older iterations of the show or part of older franchises, such as G1, G2 or G3 My Little Pony.

 

Classic Gemology: (Jem-ol-ah-jee)Fanbase theory that minerals and gemstones operate as they do in real life.

Gemorganistology: (Jem-or-gan-ist-ol-ah-jee) Fanbase theory that minerals and gemstones are organic organisms in some shape or form, similar to plants or algeae.

Alterior Lithograpology: (All-teer-ee-or Lith-o-graf-ee) Fanbase theory school of other mineral and gemstone hypotheticals.

 

Willing Rainboom Theory: Fanbase theory that Rainbow Dash can execute a sonic boom at will, assuming she throws both hooves forward (instead of only one).

Post-Nukistic Rainboom Theory: (New-kiss-tik) Fanbase theory that Rainbow Dash can execute a sonic rainboom at any time, assuming that the "Sonic Rainnuke" that is seen in S2E3 'Lesson Zero' is proof of this effect.

Imperillism Rainboom Theory: (Imm-pear-ill-is-tik) Fanbase theory that Rainbow Dash can only execute a sonic rainboom whenever somepony is in life-threatening danger.

 

Pre-Millenialist Discordism

A-Millenialist Discordism

Post-Millenialist Discordism

Anti-Millenialist Discordism

Anti-Harmonialism

Nova-Harmonism

 

I don't know what any of those are, I just thought they sounded cool. Pre- means before, A- means during or current, Post- means after, Anti- means against or countering, Nova- means new. Millenialist pertains to a millenium, or 1000 years.

 

Lunology: (Loon-ol-ah-jee): The Study of Princess Luna

Celestology: (Sell-est-ol-ah-jee): The Study of Princess Celestia

Pro-Lunarism: (Pro-Loon-arr-iz-um): Fanbase theory that Luna and Nightmare Moon were Dualisticly united as a spirit while on the moon.

Establishmentarain-Lunarism: (est-ab-lish-men-tare-ee-ann Loon-arr-iz-um): Fanbase theory that Luna and Nightmare Moon were two seperate beings while physically being on the moon.
