    Remember that episode where "bit" was used as slang for coins and the fandom extrapolated it into the name of the currency

      @thelastgherkin But the coins have been referred to as "bits" in multiple episodes?

        @bitshift BUT IT COULD STILL JUST BE CONSISTENT SLANG

          @thelastgherkin This is true. Not disputing the possible slangness, just the number of times the term was used. :)

            @bitshift Bit has been a colloquialism in countless languages so there is no reason why that should not apply here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_%28money%29

                @bitshift Filthy's tie and cutie mark suggest otherwise. http://tinyurl.com/8nofy2s

                    @bitshift I can understand having an outdated cutie mark, but he'd probably keep the tie up to date. Plus, he's what, fifty years old (if his grandfather is a contemporary of Granny Smith's parents, and Granny is around 100)?

                      @thelastgherkin Great grandfather, and Granny smith is centuries old according to in-show info.

                        @colfax No, he's Diamond Tiara's great grandfather. He's Filthy Rich's grandfather.

                  @thelastgherkin Remember now, much like adventure time, the world of Equestria is post nuclear war Earth. Money is money to them, and they might have learned of pre war money through surviving text books. Or something.

                    @anarchycarcino Does this make Fallout: Equestria a post-post-nuclear story?
