Although the term mats originally meant as reference to mat1, many other dedicated Repl.it users renamed to mat temporarily as a joke, creating an army of mats known as "mats" to grify, and probably someone else too. Inside the repldex editor discord server, most members are named "mat". The original term "mat" was derived from the Peruvian word "matenissianarasko" meaning "to bring the joy of developing on Repl.it to others' hearts".
