Lol! Squirtsquirt! :lol:
I looked up Rib in the dictonary and apparently it also mean "mountain fissure" which I guess is a place where dragons can live(?) It's a stupid name for a lovely pony if you ask me
It's really quite simple: some Hasbro naming agent was barbequing ribs one fine day at a Bachelor Party, had a little too much to drink, and before anyone could stop him, had named this poor pony 'Baby Ribbs', for he forgot there's only 1 'b' n rib, on all the packaging they had. Thus, the horrible name stuck, and the guy got fired.
