Question concerning terminology

If Nintendo fanboys are called sheep and X-Box fanboys are called lemmings, what do you call PlayStation fanboys?mmlgamer

idi....

cows

Crabs.

:P

Hey, I'm reading all of these Mass Effect topics and it seems that people prefer the term "cows" over "crabs".

Is it too late to change this tradition or what? CRAB BATTLE!

I like Crabs better.

Okay. Now someone needs to explain to me the idea around using "cows" as the main term for Sony fanboys.mmlgamer

I actually think the 360 is far worse this gen, for extra costs.

It does help that Sony priced their machine so much higher than any other this gen, or the Cow term might have died completely.

I think I understand the reasoning behind the term "cow", however there is something else that concerns me.

According to the forum rules, sheep, cow, lemming, and hermit are the only acceptable terms for fanboyism. This raises two questions:

1. Am I violating the rules by using the term "crab" in this manner?
2. What is a hermit?

Well, I believe this will conclude my part in this topic.

I'm sticking with "crab" as my term for Sony fanboys. "Cow" just seems to be more insulting than fun, and I'm more into fun.

As for "hermits", I don't think I'm even going to bother with putting that in my sig, even though my sig would technically be incomplete without it. It just doesn't seem worth the thinking and typing time.

The only reason why I use "crabs" is explained in my sig.mmlgamer

I was just kidding. don't forget about that you need MASSIVE DAMAGE to kill Giant crabs!

Flip the crab over and hit its weak point for MASSIVE damage.

Wow, someone has tunnel vision.

I guess all these PC vs. console threads are Hermits arguing amongst themselves them?

Actually you need real time weapon change to defeat this giant enemy crab.

What does all this mean? Simply put: RIIIIDGE RACER!

YOu are completely right. The term "cow" was the first animal label to be applied to a group of fanboys. It was started by lemmings who were getting 4 controller ports, built in HDD, built in ethernet, and free warranties while Sony charged extra for every one of those things. Lemmings dubbed this "milking".

The term cow became so popular so fast that fanboys all started trying to come up with names for what we now call the "lemmings" and "sheep" and eventually "hermits".

I agree that the "cows" seem to be getting milked the least this gen, but frankly the original concept was just to popular and perfect. It would be hard to get people to change at this point. It is ingrained in us.
