Rainbow Dash advertising "clopjobs" for $1, and several character's reactions. My friends had the obvious reaction, but for a full five seconds, I was stuck on the fact that it was an inaccurate parallel to the etymology of the actual terms. The first noun, (usually "hand" or "blow") refers to something used to accomplish the act. "Clop", however, refers to the act itself. One does not clop someone, nor does one use their clop to do so. It would be like advertising "mangoesiojob: $1". Then I realized what I was looking at and I became a bit less focused on linguistics and a bit more focused on the concept of oh god get it out of my head."}
