Let's discuss labels (A Playmates request to the fans)

Brony... browncoat... afol... tfol... otaku... trekkies/trekkors.. gamers... fanbases are good at coming up with words to describe their group, but turtle fans haven't been able to agree on anything for ourselves, aside from simply "turtle fan" which is pretty uninspired.

The age old question for turtle fans... sewerheads? shellheads? turtleheads? shellies? Is there a cool term other than simply "turtle fan" that we could agree on to identify under?

What about female fans of TMNT? A special term for them? Male MLP fans have come up with brony so, why not something for the girls among us?

I am making this thread because the question was posed to the fanbase by Playmates at their SDCC 2013 panel this week. They even suggested that we get together and discuss it.

Is it too late for us to come up with anything? Are we stuck with "turtle fans" forever? Or can we do better than that!

If you have any ideas, Playmates could be listening.
