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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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