I laughed *so much* at this. XD
I imagined that in Fluttershy’s voice.
Still chuckling days later.
Dammit, Jeph, I almost choked on a bite of cheese because of this!
Christ, I can hear them saying it...
i love this so much
So good, genuinely LOL :)
Spooky bot / Yay is amazing
It's a better name than many StarWars names...
If Yay thinks you're odd...
"Hypocorism," my shiny metal ass.
non, je ne regrette rien
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH YAY IS NOW MY BEST FRIEND
Yay Bestfriend!
This is self-indulgent and I love it so much
Laughing so hard! Love it
First you make Bubbles progressively cuter until she's as cute as can be and then you set your sights on Roko and make me even gayer for these damn robots
The robots are the ONLY characters, at least for the last six weeks or so
Panel 6 is the new all-occasion reaction gif
😾
Roko, pls, you should have SEEN that one coming.
Roko is totally me at the end of this strip.
Not that I'm a nerd or anything, but I already knew hypocorism. In fact, true story, I have edited the Wikipedia article on "Hypocorism".
I choose to believe that the new word is yaaaaaaaay or whatever was written in the description.
*snickers* Okay, laughed out loud at last panel. And also. Melon. >_< I wonder what she made for dinner...
When in doubt, C4 ...
"Diminutive" would be a more appropriate word for the shortening of "Yaaaaaaaay" to "Yay". A "hypocorism" is a pet name that is generally unrelated to one's given name... for example, "Spookybot" is a hypocorism (but for pet names, I personally prefer the word "sobriquet").
The linguistic "diminutive" doesn't refer to the length of the word though, but to particular endings and the words made with them to indicate smallness. In English, such endings include -et and -ette (piglet, dinette, cigarette, diskette) as well as -ie and -y (doggy, bootie, Bobby, Debbie). So Yaaaaaaaayette is a diminutive of Yaaaaaaaay, Yay is a hypocorism, and Yayette is a diminutive of the hypocorism.
Let's learn an old swear... GOD DAMN IT, i LOVE this strip!
Oh my God I want to marry them
well, what else would it have been?
blocked and reported
Jeph, you’re a monster! 🤣
Melon ain't gettin that deposit back.
Yeah, but she hasn't been getting it back for a while now, so what's the difference? :)
Hhahahahaha... I love that Roko totally fell for that!!
She walked right into that one. She should have known it from the start.
Well, I busted out cackling at the last panel, silly as it may be :)
I'm half expecting a Fonz joke in the next few pages... "Oh I have a cousin called 'Eyyyyyy' too"
Yay A. Newfriend
Get it right, their name is Yaaaaaaaay. That's 8 'a's
Abbreviated y8y when writing about it in github
And their other manifestations, Rah Rah and Yipee.
Daaaaaaaang.
Yaaaaaay!
There is a Fluttershy joke waiting to be made here.....
Yeah, was gunna say did anyone else read that in Fluttershy’s voice?
Oh you son of a seacook the jokes write themselves
Yay
Jeph, you have outdone yourself. This is the pinnacle of comedy.
