I like the idea of calling it smooze instead, because it's less insensitive sounding and a nerdy pony reference.

I thought that we referred to it as 'cancer' as it's one of the worst things that can happen to a pony, and to call it by a human illness just shows how much affection we have for ponies.
I've never been too put off by the term. My grandmother has lived through skin cancer on her face, and it was pretty much the worst thing we've gone through as a family, but if I let myself be reminded of that situation every time I read the word (especially in regards to toys, and one of my favourite things) well, I'd be a bit of a crying wreck.
I absolutely hate the term. Collectors of other toys call it less severe names, like "age spots" or with Strawberry Shortcake it is called VDS (vinyl deterioration spots).
