"The onager is a large member of the genus Equus of the family Equidae native to the deserts of Syria, Iran, Pakistan, India, Israel, and Tibet. It is also known as the Asiatic wild ***, Asian wild ***, or wild Asian ***."

...

The Tau have crafted The Donkey Punch.

I am now honor bound to equip one always.

I thought it was a comedy reference to onanism....

Still. Fisting tanks to death remains appealing!

I turned around and said thats what it means in the codex, if GW didn't want it called that, don't put it in the book.

Onager is a sort of crossbow mounted catapult that throws shrapnel ?

Also should have just been called a 'knuckle bomb' like in Bubblegum Crisis...

Yup, but the weapon was named after the way that it kicks like the animal.

Poor simple Gue'la. Your clumsy human tongues and primitive vocal chords can barely manage the simplest words of our glorious language. If you choose to crudely mangle it into confusing and/or amusing translations in your barbaric 'High Gothic', it is yet another sign of your unenlightened ways and the pressing need to bring the glory of the Greater Good to your backward lives.

Wildey, clearly the Apocalypse is nigh... I'm agreeing with you wholeheartedly.
