March 7, 200520 yr That's all it means? How disappointing. The word had potential. Just because it was derived from a weasel-like creature doesn't mean that's the whole connotation it carries... 'bitch' is technically just a female dog, too. ;s

'bitch' is technically just a female dog, too. ;s <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True, but "bitch" implies a total devalution of a person (in this case, a woman in particular) to the general value of a dog. Calling someone a "weasel" doesn't carry the same negative connotations in US and/or Western culture, and since this is a story being read by people in and/or influenced by US and/or Western culture, it loses it's edge to refer to a weasel like creature without the implication that it refers to it in such a way as be of similarly insulting value as the word mentioned above. This is Lucas here, so I doubt that is the case.

You can call someone a weasel on a kids show, but "bitch" is considered a curse word. The latter is considered inherently vulgar, while the latter is not. They aren't in the same leage, as far as explitives go.

March 7, 200520 yr Just leave it alone they used it because they needed to use a word they cant have star wars characters running around the whole game yelling bitch they would get a mature rating which lucasarts would not approve

In all reality, to shock people, you have to use explitives so horrific that they cause the victim's ears to bleed.
