Not so quick on the uptake me. Maybe the GW designers went to school with Glen Larson? Call me naive...<br /><br />@ b.smoove - That's the big one I think. But forget them - how on Earth could we? There's a great bit of moral relativism in the book when the BFG talks about the relationship between human beans and the little piggy-wig... Ouch!

Now everyone knows as much about the meaning of 'uckyslush' as I do, which is why definitive answers are really out of the question.<br /><br />@ The Angry Lurker - I'd forgotten about Doom. Good point. How many BFGs are there? Anyway, you score high in straight talking..!I'm guessing it's 'Freaking', 'Fricking' or 'Fracking'...<br /><br />@ Dave@RollWithIt - Maybe Black Library could get a few outsiders in to write up something a little mould-breaking?
