tmp Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all reality, to shock people, you have to use explitives so horrific that they cause the victim's ears to bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
