S'mo Bs and Bs... Clearly swearing. Think about everywhere you here it. When you die, when glukkons order them around, as passwords(followed by laughing) as they beat the scrubs. It seems to work everywhere. I've even starting imitating it in real life when people BS me.

True, I never thought of it like that........

Why would swear words be used to activate voice locks, may I ask???

That's the kind of guys sligs are. They get bossed around alday, and beat the scrubs to break the dull routine. They get put in charge of area locks, so they're gonna use such words, it's funny to them. They laugh to end the passwotd. They are rebelling against the Glukkons in their own pathetic way!

They aren't the only ones. Remember Scuz and Packrat Palooka from SW? Their password was swearing.

Proabably because they wanted to have a some form of a repeat puzzle, and bs and smo bs sounded best for it. :rolleyes:

But of you want to go in depth with it, then probably because that's just Slig culture.

I still don't think those sounds mean anything significant.

But just to entertain the thought that they do, what do you think the 'A-Bluueh!" sound means? Originally, I figured it was a type of greeting because it sounds a bit like the exaggerated "WusszaAAp!". Then I just decided it was meaningless like the others because it does not fit in such context.

For me the BS sound (krkr) sounds like the slig is cough slightly and the SMOBS sound (bling) sounds like the same sound there are in many cartoons when someone have got an idea and mybe sligs always have some stupid ideas in their mind and the third sound (bleah) sounds like they are rigth to trow something up.

I always thought that when Sligs say BS, it kinda looks like they are flipping Abe off.
