"任豚" meaning in Japanese

See 任豚 in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: 任豚 [canonical] (ruby: (にん), (とん)), ninton [romanization]
Etymology: From a modified clipping of 任天堂, where the kanji 天(てん) (ten, “heaven”) is replaced by 豚(とん) (ton, “pig”), often accompanied by visual depictions of overweight Nintendo fans. Sometimes alternatively read as "ninbuta", which is said to be a corrupted compound of 任(にん) (nin), the first kanji in "Nintendo", and 仏陀(ぶつだ) (butsuda, “Buddha”), from the perception of Nintendo fans as religiously devoted to the company.
