Album name

White Pony is street slang for cocaine. However, there are more likely meanings for the album name, including an obvious sexual reference[1]: Cocaine is a crystalline tropane alkaloid that is obtained from the leaves of the coca plant. ... Human sexuality is the expression of sexual feelings. ...

"There's a lot of different references for White Pony. One of them is a cocaine reference and there's a lot of stuff... have you ever heard stuff like in dream books that if you dream about a white pony then you're having a sexual dream? There's a lot stuff that kinda goes around it. And there's an old song (that goes) 'ride the white horse.' That's obviously a drug reference song."

The line "downtown pony" is used in the song "Korea", and in this sense "pony" seems to have a sexual connotation as well.
