    I've just finished Baldur's Gate for the third time and had to have a good old laugh at something. When visiting the Low Lantern, my female PC spoke to one of the courtesans who replied something along the lines of "You must be looking for Schvantz, he's hanging out here somewhere."

    If anyone knows German slang, that's pretty damn hilarious. :D

    Another thing I found was upstairs in one of the Inns, you'll find Carbos and Shank's sister/cousin (one's her brother, one's her cousin) who is worried about where her relatives have got to. Oops! But then it turns out she doesn't really care about them...it's more that they owe her money. That's OK then.

    Well, let us know. That's like acting like a girl who takes her shirt off and says "What are you looking at?" :eek:

    I think it's spelled Schwanz in German, but yeah, that's exactly what it means, lol!

    I almost hope there is a yiddish version with "v" and a more colloquial connotation. If it's spelled with a "w" then it goes beyond slang, it's really very vulgar - especially when you consider the context.

    It was just the reference to Schvantz and "hanging out" that tickled me. :D

    You're telling me. The last time I played BG I found a loose sock I thought I'd lost.

    Okay, so it's not exactly like a girl taking her shirt off.

    Pretty darn funny though! :)
