What do boards refer to themselves as? I've always been curious if each board has a name for their userbase or if it's only a few boards that do this.
Ex:
/a/non
/b/tard
/c/itizen
/k/ommando
/mu/tant or /mu/sician
/x/phile
fa/tg/uy
/v/irgin
/pol/ack
etc.
Do seagull and robot count for /cgl/ and /r9k/ even though they break the pattern?
>>445831
We call ourselves /diy/kes or /diy/nosaurs.
>>445831
At [s4s] we call ourselves [s4s]quatches.
>>445831
fa/tv/irgins
>>445831
/co/mrades
nor/mlp/eople
>>445831
Aut/o/bot reporting for doritos and hectic skidz.
>>445831
Your 4chan /news/team
>>445831
/fit/izen
>>445831
/cgl/ull doesn't break the pattern.
a/sp/ies
/int/olerants
/toy/ soldier here, reporting for duty.
Also, hang around with the /po/ppers, although some call themselves /po/or people.
In sharp contrast to the /biz/raelis.
However, given their relatively low players base, those last varies a lot.
>>445831
>/a/non
Everybody who isn't from /a/ calls them /a/utists.
>>445831
Is /pol/lack even a word or is it just catchy?
>>445958
A pollack is an antiquated derogatory word for someone from Poland. Also a kind of fish.
>>445958

ul/trash/itposters
>>445867
For that matter, /asp/ies.
/sp/erg and /sp/erglord are sometimes used too, though.
>>446093
Damn, that's brilliant.
>>445831
Fun fact: Early /pol/lacks called themselves Metro/pol/itans, but some people started calling it Comso/pol/itans and the consensus was that it too gay to use regularly.

Wow a lot of these are really clever. Do you suppose the remaining boards have them? I doubt they'd appreciate me making an off topic thread to ask though
>>446273
This, and I've heard "aut/o/bots" before as well.
>>446431
Some boards just genuinely don't have them.
I've been a /n/igger since the board's revival, and I've never heard anybody use such a term until I just made it up right now.
I nominate baco/n/riders after our beloved real life board-tan.
>>446142
>Ul/trash/itposters
As shit as /trash/ is that's actually amazing
>>445961
Polack is also the swedish word used to describe someone from Poland, and it's not derogatory at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_joke#United_States
The "Pollack joke" was a staple of the politically incorrect Jewish 'Borcht Belt' Comedy circuit in NY state (Catskills and Hamptons) from the 1940s-80s.

The people who are into this say these stupid names in real life, much to the embarrassment of everyone else.

>>446563
Alternatively /aco/rn has been used regularly by complete bitches who have no idea how this works.
I mean, you might as well use /aco/nitine, /aco/ustics, or /aco/elomates if you're going to just make up nonsense.
>>446142
>Nor/mlp/eople
Holy shit that's perfect. That is everything but true.
>>446742
Yeah it's one of the best ones
I've seen "arcanines" being used for /r9k/.
>>446908
Wort infested bastards have dyslexia.
non /tg/ anons call them fa/tg/uys
/tg/ anons call eachother elegen/tg/entlemen
>>447509
Never seen that, always see /tg/ calling themselves fa/tg/uys.
>>447515
both are correct also ca/tg/irls for fem-anons
>>446107
bullshit. I've been on /pol/ since the /new/ users from the other site invaded. It was either /pol/lacks or /pol/ticians pre 2013.
Also they wouldn't be able to spell those words on a daily basis lol.
>>446142
legbutts for /lgbt/.
>>447553
Nope, didn't make it up. I'm not surprised you didn't see it happen though. This was in the first week of /pol/ in 2012 when it came back. There was a thread early in the week where it was decided either /pol/iticians or metro/pol/itans or /pol/itariat. metro/pol/s won out, but it wasn't even a few days before faggots were calling it 'cosmo/pol/itans' and it was pretty much forgotten afterward.

cool.
though /pol/ doesn't seem to like him.
I don't either, much, but /pol/ usually has terrible taste anyhow.
>>446468
Well, "Polak" is the Polish word for someone from Poland. How Murilards managed to turn something so inherently neutral into an ethnic slur is beyond me.
>>446142
I liked this
On /wsr/, bro/wsr/s is most commonly used
