Pongoes

British slang dating from the mid to late nineteenth century, meaning soldiers. Soldiers were not popular at this time as Kipling’s poem Tommy shows (Barrack Room Ballads 1892). The word itself stems from expressions used by comedians in theatres and music halls to get a cheap laugh. The two that are most commonly quoted are "where the army goes the pong goes", or “when the wind blows the pong goes”, pong meaning smell. This quickly became pongoes meaning soldiers plural and pongo meaning an individual. Another possible explanation is that the soldiers were being likened to a large, hairy, smelly ape called a pongo. The expression is still in use today although not common, confined mainly to those who saw service in World War II or Korea (very few now) or who did National Service in Britain while this was still compulsory.
Ambulance chasing lawyers, seeking compensation for terrorists, still see soldiers as pongoes.

Originally, the full name of Jugemu, a character in a Japanese folktale. The name was given by his father after a consultation with a priest. The priest suggested many names and the father being indecisive named his son all of these names.

Now it is a joke for Scar and Wrath's real name in Fullmetal Alchemist.
Wrath: What is your real name?

Scar: Hmph... Jugemu Jugemu Goko no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo no Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Ku Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yabura Koji no Bura Koji Paipo-paipo Paipo no Shuringan Shuringan no Gurindai Gurindai no Ponpokopi no Ponpokona no Chokyumei no Chosuke.

Wrath: What a coincidence. My name is also Jugemu Jugemu Goko no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo no Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Ku Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yabura Koji no Bura Koji Paipo-paipo Paipo no Shuringan Shuringan no Gurindai Gurindai no Ponpokopi no Ponpokona no Chokyumei no Chosuke.

Wrath: Here I come, Jugemu Jugemu Goko no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo no Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Ku Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yabura Koji no Bura Koji Paipo-paipo Paipo no Shuringan Shuringan no Gurindai Gurindai no Ponpokopi no Ponpokona no Chokyumei no Chosuke!

Scar: Bring it, Jugemu Jugemu Goko no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo no Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Ku Neru Tokoro ni Sumu Tokoro Yabura Koji no Bura Koji Paipo-paipo Paipo no Shuringan Shuringan no Gurindai Gurindai no Ponpokopi no Ponpoko- I bit my tongue!

PONY.MOV

An online animated parody series of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It consists of the seven main characters (Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Spike) with their original appearances, but the ponies have different cutie marks and most of them have very different voices than those from the TV series. Their personalities are also greatly altered; for example, Fluttershy in the TV show is very kind to animals and has a gentle voice; in the PONY.MOV series she kills animals as well as Rainbow Dash with a chainsaw and talks like Fat Albert.
Each of the episodes focuses on one character in particular, much like the television show. They are, as of July 27, 2012, APPLE.MOV (Applejack), DRESS.MOV (Rarity), SHED.MOV (Fluttershy), MAGIC.MOV (Twilight), and PARTY.MOV (Pinkie Pie). Also there is a short dedicated to Spike titled SPIKE.MOV. There is one more episode to be made, SWAG.MOV (Rainbow Dash).
How to summarize the PONY.MOV series up to now:
Twilight: Spike, this is supposed to be an intervention, where is everypony?
Spike: Applejack's in a coma, Rarity is being held captive by Mexicans, Fluttershy's in the nuthouse and Rainbow Dash is dead.
