【No. 2120】A Gift of a Tractor

A Gift of a Tractor

Slack displays various congratulatory messages when there are no unread messages.

In the English (US) version of Slack, I found some interesting messages as follows:

"You're all read. Here's a pony."

"You're all read. Here's a tractor."

I believe that a pony, as something given for birthdays, is commonly known in the West.

However, I could not quite understand the meaning of giving a tractor.

Could it be that a "pony" and a "tractor" represent something delighted to receive for girls and boys/men, respectively?

Incidentally, in the English (UK) version of Slack, a "unicorn" is used instead of a "pony."
トラクターのプレゼント

Slackでは、未読メッセージが無くなると、さまざまな労いのメッセージが表示されます。

英語(US)版のSlackでは、次のようなものがメッセージがありました。

"You're all read. Here's a pony."

"You're all read. Here's a tractor."

「ポニー」は、誕生日等に送られるものとして、海外では広く知られているものと思います。

しかし、「トラクター」をくれるのは意味がよく理解できませんでした。

女の子には「ポニー」、男の子(男性)には「トラクター」が、喜ばれるものの代名詞ということでしょうか。

ちなみに、英語(UK)版のSlackでは、「ポニー」が「ユニコーン」になっていました。
