Hello: I spent some time reading the PC posts to see the consensus for the plural of "Prius". However, I was not able to find a discussion on what we call ourselves. Is a Prius owner a Prian? Thoughts?

Priusites has been used here on PriusChat and other Prius related chat sites . . . although I am quite fond of calling myself a Priownian.

Just as long as we are not prions. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, prions are: "A hypothetical infectious particle consisting only of protein, and thought to be the cause of some diseases." Link: http://dictionary.oed.com/cgi/entry/002942...hilite=00294298

If you experience Priusism, an uncontrollable raging smile, that lasts for four hours or longer, don't bother seeking immediate medical attention, as this is a serious medical condition, but you're beyond help anyway...
