PSA: Parts of a Horse (Or Pony)

My single biggest pet-peeve the the MLP fanfiction mess is the abuse of the word 'flank.' For everyone out there who is jumping on the bandwagon without a glimmer of anatomical knowledge, please refer to the picture below (referece: Wikipedia).

And for everyone who uses the term 'flankhole,' just know that I wish to give you a flankhole.

So, all those people who misuse Flank, you want to poke a hole into their stomach? Through their flank?

Preferable with a hot piece of rebar, or a large-caliber rifle. That being said, education usually helps more than execution.

You're trying to bait me into saying something I'll really regret. It won't work.

2555723 There's something you would regret more than shooting someone?

Oh, there are quite a few things I'd regret more than shooting someone. That being said, surviving and correcting mistakes is wonderful. Realistically though, there have been 21 non-unique views on this post, and it turned into more of a rant than a PSA (because the 'P' part was really missing).
