'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>maters''' were a long running joke back in the very earliest days of ''Daria'' fandom, approximately from 1998 to 2000. (The word is prononunced much like it is spelled, a dialect form of the word ''tomatoes''.)
According to fan [[Yui Daoren]],
Soon, several fans were "throwing 'maters" at one another in threads. A 'mater toss would look something like this: ==============O. Entire threads of 'mater attacks led some fans to complain that board space was being used up for stupid games at the expense of discussion.
Line 24:

'''lavender <nowiki>'</nowiki>mater'''
Fans hit with a lavender <nowiki>'</nowiki>mater will have the urge to write about Timothy O'Neill and Janet Barch as a couple. Created by [[Peter Guerin]].
==The Killing Frost==
Like any in-joke, the use of <nowiki>'</nowiki>maters slowly dwindled away, leaving only today's puzzled fans who might read 'mater references in the works of early fans such as [[Crazy Nutso]].
