According to fan [[Yui Daoren]], Daria fan [[Diane Long]] (known as "Smoochy-Jane" on the Outpost Daria Message Board) suggested that as a [[shipper]], if people didn't like her Daria/Trent stories they should throw tomatoes at her. This led to [[Rey Fox]] throwing a tomato (in prose, of course) on the ODMB. Supposedly, Diane Long preferred the <nowiki>'</nowiki>maters spelling because she didn't know how to spell tomatoes in plural form.
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
Daria fans would later imbue each form of <nowiki>'</nowiki>mater with special abilities.
