The name had to be picked for a reason. It means abstinence from eating food. 

 

Just curious about where the name came from. It’s an epic program, I love using it. It’s fun watching all the stats, it’s fun watching and waiting to see if that refresh comes and you get something. I love it. I have fun doing this, I don’t have fun playing Neopets normally.

 

So…abstinence from playing the game? Abrosia grants us ambrosia, eh?

 

This is a thank you for your hard work, everyone here. Awesome job. You make this game fun.

    I wondered about this for a while, too. I also realised, besides the dictionary meaning of the word, that the name has "Ab" in it too, which of course could also stand for "autobuying". Is that another reason for the name, for those who know? XD

    EDIT: Autobuyer Resilient of Sugary Icing Amazingness

     

    I'm stuck T.T I wonder if this is what Voldemort felt like when he came up with his name ._. The countless hours spent trying to come up with a name filled with pure awesome xD

     

    YES! I finally found something that fits. R.I.P to my brain cells.

    Something along the lines of Ambrosia being the 'fruit of the gods' and the guys coined the term Abrosia in this respect. Basically we're the gods, Abrosia gives us the fruit. @ShadowLink64 can properly answer this theory better than I can ;)

    Yeah that’s basically what I was thinking when I said “Abrosia grants us Ambrosia.”

     

    Love it. Great name. x)

    ^ lol.  :lol2:

     

    Or Ambrosia is too risky. People to get iced from time to time. If there was a program that was literally 100% ice free, that would be called Ambrosia, eh? x)  :rolleyes:

    @Waser Lave made the name up. I forget why. Something about not eating, since that's what abrosia means. It was not a mistake of missing the "m".
