I always thought it was the FREE Co Depot
 
I feel silly now.....

Sekto Springs 07-04-2010 02:17 PM

Feeco Depot doesn't actually mean anything. I think they just went with that name because it sounded like "fecal", and thats kind of grade-school humor we've come to love OWI for.

moxco 07-04-2010 11:09 PM

I thought it was called that because they found it extremely comical to combine 'fee' with 'corporation', it's in the art book I think. Regardless it is just another of OWI's terrible puns.

MeechMunchie 07-04-2010 11:49 PM

It's a pun. A place called 'Fecal' with a Vice-President called 'Arselick'. But the other joke is the blunt, cynical capitalism that is a theme in Oddworld. Fee Co. - A company whose only real interest is in taking your money.

EDIT: Oh, and I've posted this before but I like it.

abe is now! 07-05-2010 12:06 AM

Do u remember in AE at the "game speak" menu when u would access a slig one of the buttons was "BS" at first I didn't knew what bs means!

Josh 07-05-2010 07:48 AM

What?

MeechMunchie 07-05-2010 08:01 AM

Amen to that.

STM 07-05-2010 08:57 AM

BS = bullshit just as S'Mo'BS is well s'mo bullshit. we think

Sekto Springs 07-05-2010 11:29 AM

BS = pretty much everything The Crappin' Elum posts.

moxco 07-05-2010 03:48 PM

That would be ES, elum shit.

If I knew Lorne I would go to him say to him:"Lorne!You need to get rid of those pesky meeps and start adding elums!"

yeah thats right. so that means when they kill you. they say Bullshit and somemore bullshit over and over again :p

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-06-2010 05:01 AM

it is right, at first i didn't know what it meant either.

MeechMunchie 07-06-2010 06:54 AM

I never thought they were saying the Slig equivalent of 'Bullshit'. I always thought it was just the GameSpeak menu telling you that the noises didn't mean anything, they were just tics and stutters. They were gibberish i.e. bullshit.

Holy Sock 07-06-2010 07:21 AM

Kinda like how some people make gorilla chanting noises.

STM 07-06-2010 09:05 AM

well, don't speak for all of us just coz you do that! ;)

Holy Sock 07-06-2010 09:17 AM

What's with the suggestive wink?

STM 07-06-2010 09:27 AM

Not sure but I think I'm gonna get infracted unless I right something meaningful so, I always thought Aslik was Aslisk until a few months back!

Holy Sock 07-06-2010 09:38 AM

Another confession. I never got the Aslik=Ass lick joke until recently.

STM 07-06-2010 09:49 AM

Oh you ;)

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-07-2010 12:35 AM

and in the AE book, it says phleg is the head Boner
at the bonewerkz lol! its obviously on purpose though, which makes it funny.

If Lorne would consider in making another game I would wish he could change from 'BS' to 'ES'=Elum Shit and S'Mo ES=Some more elum shit !

moxco 07-09-2010 01:33 PM

I never got the "ass lick joke" until I read this thread. Probably because I say arse, not ass.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-09-2010 03:41 PM

yeah it took me a while too, but to be honest i never really concentrated on the names.

Fil The Slig 07-09-2010 11:21 PM

Lol i didnt know its Bullshit too.

scrab queen 07-09-2010 11:33 PM

After all this time and I still don't know everything about Oddworld.

I made no connection between the Slig-speak and BS. I just thought they were poorly translated onomatopoeia. And that the names of the two sounds should have been switched to better fit that theory.

ODDWORLDisTHEbest! 07-10-2010 02:38 AM

haha! me too!

Scraby 07-13-2010 09:11 AM

fee co. depot means fee company depot,that transports food or fee :P

GlukkonGluk 07-13-2010 12:06 PM

I never expected place names on a planet called Oddworld to make sense, therefore I have never generally worried about them, you know? :)

STM 07-17-2010 12:15 PM

Ahhhh BS an SMO'BS is Slig gibberish which we associate with BS and SMO'BS so many threads about that one, =)

The Crappin' Elum 07-21-2010 08:08 AM

I realized 'BS' meant 'Bullshit' but 'S'Mo' I thought it meant 'small'...U know like 'Bullshit' and 'Small Bullshit'
