Trivia

Etymology

Sploosh-o-matic is derived from 'sploosh', a word similar to 'splash', and 'automatic'. The '-o-matic' suffix is also a common, clichéd naming convention for technological gadgets.

ボールドマーカー bōrudo mākā is in reference to the partly pen-based appearance of the Sploosh-o-matic. The name is also to contrast it with the Splash-o-matic. The highly accurate Splash-o-matic is named after a sharp marker pen, while the Sploosh-o-matic with its wide, cone-shaped muzzle is more akin to a bold marker pen.
