I always wondered whether the language had or had not been named because of that...

The answer would be no, but we have no objections to equines of any color.

Have you seen the FIM++ language? Perhaps somebody should re-write the interpreter in Pony.

>that show about colorful, pastel-, candy-colored equines, of which I'm totally not a fan of.

Have you watched the last couple of seasons? I liked them more.

I think it's named after rhyming slang for crap (pony and trap).

also nope:

it's from the phrase "and I want a pony"
