That's the American version of what British people think Slag means, though. I encourage anyone who doesn't believe me to check it out on Urban Dictionary.


Skag means heroin, not whore.

Slug always struck me as a weird name because the first thing I think of is the mollusc.

Slash is UK slang for piss, as in “I’m going for a slash.”

OFF MY MEDS AGAIN PLEASE DON'T USE BIG WORDS

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK
Its almost like trying to make things not offensive to someone is really hard in our modern connected world. There are numbers that are offensive, words even in the same language thanks to dialects and slang. Even imagery can be upsetting ala skeletons in China or said number of 4...

Best not to worry too hard about it. Or put stickers over a thing if needed. Otherwise poo poo gets really lame and watered down if we have to watch out super hard. Large amounts of the world consider lgbt stuff to be death sentence worthy irl.

Sometimes poo poo cant go here or there for good or ill.

Edit: does this mean there is room for considering others feelings or saying THIS IS CLEARLY WRONG NO MATTER YOUR CULTURE? Duh !

I believe there is an open invitation to check out Urban Dictionary about it? It means both of those things. I've run into more unkind/unthinking young men than I have heroin persons, personally.

It's just crowbar with some gold parts and less paint, and they even had berserker who DID look like crankcase, and was already altered to make crowbar in the first place. Utterly baffling.

Is crowbar any good by the way? I have berserker and kind of hate him but I've been loving the studio series guys I have so far.

I have him and hes pretty decent. The dread type things aren't very poseable though and the side ones kinda look like they're coming out of his armpits. He looks nice next to the Rotf crankcase/ beserker/whatever the predator face looking one is. He comes with the exact same spiky weapon things as crankcase too.

Is that only for prime members or something? When I tried to order a thing for Amazon Prime came up, and when I hit no, it told me my cart is empty and I can't even try to order from Amazon anymore.
