New person question: What do we call ourselves here?

Is there an official demonym for Snapzu users? Snapzuvians? Snapzonians? Snapzudes? Snappers (please, don't let it be Snappers)? I tried searching on a few of these, but didn't find anything.

    The term I've seen used the most often is Snapzites. Personally, I don't have very strong feelings about what we call ourselves, you tend to grow accustomed to any term over time anyway.

    P.S. Welcome!

      Thank you! Snapzites is pretty catchy. As I read all the comments here, I'm thinking one demonym is too few. So today I'm gonna be a Snapzuvian. Tomorrow, something that starts with a 'z'.

      I like Tribesmen, or even the use of Tribals

      Shouldn’t that be the name for mods?

      Edit: Apparently that's already the name for the head mod of each Tribe!

    Why not snappers ? I like snappers. Alligator Snapper is a kind of badass turtle. Check it out: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alligator_Snapping_Turtle

      It's something else too (not safe for work): http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snapper

      I like snappers also, but I can't help but associate the term "snap" with masturbation...

      Okay, so once upon a time I was an EMT. We had this new guy come from another company. A few people are hanging out in the crew quarters, which is more or less an open communal space with a TV, a couple couches, and some beds that are tucked into alcoves. The new guy, who we only believe to be only slightly weird up until this moment, announces that he's going to "go snap one off", goes to one of the beds, and proceeds to beat off. Nobody said anything to him. I mean, how do you even address that situation? I guess it was a normal thing at his old company. I'm still confused.

      I guess what I'm saying is we should definitely call ourselves snappers.

    Good question.

    I've seen someone use the term 'Snapzites', but I really like the term 'Snapzooligans' :P

    I think the term Tribals could be a good demonym. Otherwise Snappers would probably be the easiest choice.

    Snapzu users? Snapzusers? :-D

    How about ZuZus as a pet name?

      The Snapzu users thing is just tricky - the two 'u's in a row make it hard to say. I could live with some kind of shortened thing that makes the most of the 'z' sound though. This is fun.
