So the English translation of “ruckedigu” is “ruckedigu”? ---

I really don’t know, it’s purely onomatopoeic and doesn’t have any meaning. Maybe “rokedeegoo”? ---

> [@hajario](#): > > You’re just putting your own cultural expectations, privilege and bigotry onto theirs. Of course I am. So are you, so is any audience for any story ever. What a tautological statement. > [@](#): > > Like in many parts of the world, they have arranged marriage. They were betrothed to one another many years earlier. Who is “they” in this sentence? Certainly it’s not the characters in Disney’s _Snow White_, nor is it the characters in any traditional version of the story that I’ve encountered. Are you just pointing out that some people somewhere–people wholly unrelated to the Disney movie–were in arranged marriages? If so, huh? ---

It retrospect, that was funny. At the time, I didn’t get the sarcasm. Sadly, that’s more commentary on posters in general than on you. ---

I’m beginning to realize that was on me. It didn’t occur to me that that was a real debate and people weren’t being silly. ---

FWIW I thought it was a serious comment too! Hard to tell sometimes without affect included. Which leads back to Dinklage’s podcast and how it got read vs how it is heard! The whole premise of the thread is based on a few media heads reading a snippet of the podcast and few ever listening to it. ---

He secretly ogling her at the well and then started joining her song. They sang a song and danced. Maybe polite cartoon musical metaphor, like a train going in the tunnel? A basis for a hook up between two horny young folk, maybe. ---

> [@DrDeth](#): > > They had met, danced and fell in love. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the movie. Am I correct that they had one meeting, at least a year before the dead-girl kiss, and the implication is that they knew each other for less than a day? Perhaps my cultural biases are showing, but I don’t think that’s solid enough ground to kiss the corpse of a dead girl.
