Guess what my friend told me!!!

I noticed that before and I felt very accomplished. I think there are a bunch of things like that around neopets... It's sort of fun and ironic to see things like that.

[autechre]

wow, i guess you do learn something new everyday, i do think faintly someone had told me about the noil thing *its so cute!* but i never realised that about the pokemon

[Shoyru_Lover]

I noticed that a while ago.
It's like in pokemon, Ekans is snake backwards and Arbok is Kobra backwards.

Indeedy, except Kobra is actually spelt Cobra.. I think Arboc doesn't sound right so it was edited to Arbok.

About noils: I just realised the Plushie Noil looks like Bob Marley XD

[vivian58]

um. not to be rude, but i noticed that a long time ago when i was playing neoquest (original)

Same here. It was almost impossible not to, after fighting Noil after Noil trying to get their skin or something.

[Chaud]

Yeah I nnoticed that a long time ago.

Well, I didn't notice it. I noticed the Eliv Thade and Pokemon ones though.

[Freestyle Roo]

Yup, neopets took names from other languages, or messed with the resemblence of the pet with backwards names or funny spelling

Examples:

Draik- refers to Drake meaning a Dragon
Jub Jub- Refers to Jabberwocky
Kau- Cow
Eyrie- Refers to "The nest of large birds such as eagles"
Flotsam/Jetsam- The part of a ship thrown out of a boat when it gets too heavy
Koi- The actual fish
Elephante- Elephant

yup

[BlueMech]

Well aren't we the most pobservant people on the net! Did you also know that the Elephante is alot like a real animal on Earth called the Elephant!?

[AFI_Sorrow]

A fair few things on neopets are named like that. Also some things are named in a foriegn language. Like the Mynci for instance

Also, like Lupe. Isn't Mynci Welsh for monkey? That would make sense...isn't Adam Welsh?
