Pegasi. The plural of Pagasus is Pegasi. At least according to this.

It's not the same thing. That trope seems to be about using statistics to decieve people

TwentyPercentCooler is not about vague estimates to deceive people, but it's due to laziness or unhelpful information, for comedic value or otherwise.

You had better find examples first: the YKTTW is downright hostile to suggestions that don't bring their own examples.

An action is not virtuous merely because it is unpleasant to do.

Hey rhyme I tried to pass a trip called 20 cooler too. But your idea is much better.

I tried to launch Giggle At The Ghostly a while back, but it was too hard to differentiate from Good Hurts Evil, so I doubt it launched. I'll be glad to help with Twenty Percent Cooler, though - we need some trope namers here!

And yes, I've heard adult female fans referred to both as 'brony' (usually as part of a gender-inclusive group, i.e. a group of men and women at a meetup will be called bronies) and as 'pegasister' or 'pegasis'.

#21265 kyun Fri, 23rd Sep '11 9:18:54 AM

Pegasister is too long to say.

#21266 Bagof Magic Food Fri, 23rd Sep '11 9:25:11 AM

I tried to feminize "brony" and came up with "sisny" and decided the whole thing was stupid

#21267 Fallen Legend Fri, 23rd Sep '11 9:26:46 AM from Mexico City! from Mexico City!

Failed attempt at launching 20% cooler.

I like Brony as a generic term. Pegasister doesn't work in Spanish :/

I wouldn't mind it if MLP FIM doesn't invent any new tropes. It would just be proof that a show can be amazing without needing to revolutionize anything

#21269 Styx D Fri, 23rd Sep '11 9:33:49 AM

"Pegasis" is pretty good, despite sounding like something from Ergo Proxy.

But where is this term actually used? On meetups? Maybe I'm not deep enough into the fandom, but I've never seen it used outside "what should we call them" discussions.

#21270 Jesus Saves Fri, 23rd Sep '11 9:51:00 AM

Again, Pegasis sounds like "Sister-Beater" in Spanish. It's just not cute. Why don't we just call them Fillies?

#21271 Red Savant Fri, 23rd Sep '11 9:54:15 AM from Eastern US from Eastern US

^It sounds a little demeaning, doesn't it? On one hand we have a pretty clever term that combines the root for 'brother' with 'pony', implying solidarity and all that fun stuff, while the women get to be called 'girls'.

Granted, 'sister-beater' doesn't exactly work, either.

It sounds like our only option is to call them Bronies as well.

Sad, I would've liked to have seen a clever term invented solely for them.

What do you call yourself, Random?

Darn, I wanted a separate term so I could say "I'm a brony AND a [whatever]!"
