Zam’nation!

fillyjonk says:

I presume here “pony” means not literally “story about horses” but a “cheat notes used on a test” (I have most commonly heard it used to describe an existing translation that someone uses when they have to translate Latin or Greek for a class – something more common years back than now)

That then makes “Zam’nnation” make sense – shorthand for “Examination,” rather than euphemism for “damnation,” which is what I originally thoughtReport
