So, lots of people take Scyks w/ the Hvy Scyks title and then Mangler Cannons. That's a lot to say really easily. We need some sort of quick reference to this build. Can we just start saying "Smanglers"? Scyks with Mangler Cannons. Then, no one is going on about "Seeks" or "Skiks". Just call 'em Smanglers!
Smanglers = Hvy Scyk w/ Mangler Cannon?
I've flown these with many different cannons to see which I prefer, since Manglers were my favorite then I guess they will be known as Smanglers from this day forth.
I thought that was already a thing.
The Mangler Scyk is certainly interesting. MathWing says it's a god awful ship, but it seems to be popular.

When these first hit I played them in groups of four with different cannons and upgrades on each to see what I liked best, unless your looking for control and choose the Ion then it's really hard to beat the Mangler on these.
The mangler cannon is known in some areas as the 'Man-cannon'. Therefore the only proper name we can give a heavy Scyk with mangler cannon is 'Manly Scyk'.
Doesn't roll of the tongue as quickly as Smangler.
True, but it is infinitely more manly and that's worth a little tounge twisting. 
Just call them Smangos.
It's the Mango Cannon and you know it.
I call them Free-20's.
You know...20 free MOV.
Mingers? No wait, that's not right.

You obviously haven't played vs. someone who knows how to fly them.
How about, we not be lazy, and we say whole thing instead?

Bah. Where's the fun inside joke in that. Nicknames are an established part of Star Wars lore.

Agreed. It's just like Fat Han is a nickname and it gets used constantly on these forums....and the rest of the interwebs.
Mangler Scyks are very comparible to the lower two PS of TIE Interceptor.
Except with less maneuverablilty, and as slight a difference in offensive power as is possible.
