I see it as a take on the scunthorpe problem, I.e. computers inability to see the difference between a bad word used as a bad word or as a part of something innocent, and in order to censor bad words they add weird forms of search-and-replace which causes the clbuttic problems of completely incomprehensible words. Buttbuttination, Bdonkey guitar, Mbuttachusetts and Bleepake mushrooms are examples from TV tropes, as is the movie Octokittykat.

--- Quote from: hakko504 on 27 Nov 2018, 23:38 ---I'm thinking it should be Beep-atrice. Sort of self-censored. And would go nice with a Basilisk.
--- End quote ---
That gets more clever the longer I think about it. I absolutely love it.
--- End quote ---
I thought everyone would get that !! :)
--- End quote ---
I still don't get it...
--- End quote ---
Both the cockatrice and basilisk are mythical animals that could turn someone to stone.
--- End quote ---
Ok... Sorry to break it to you, but you have to be american to get "beepatrice". Here we call a cock a cock...

I'm American and that never occurred to me. And my mind is dirty the normal amount.
OldGoat:
Indeed. There are people shipping Roko and Bee when the former has never given any indication of being anything but hetro (a yeasty hetro but still hetro) and we have no idea of Bee's orientation at all. Might we be sex obsessed?
Now, I can see them serving as each other's wingbots. And a double date with Roko & Clinton and Barry & Bee could be hilarious.
It is good to see Roko hitting it off with a new friend, albeit awkwardly.
--- Quote from: BenRG on 30 Nov 2018, 03:14 ---Okay, for some reason, some posters have decided that Beeptrice's name is a reference to the mythological beast known as the cockatrice, which is similar to the basilisk in its mystical properties and special abilities. The word 'cock' is how some versions of English language refer to roosters (male chickens). It is also a slang term for penis and it appears that some have, for no reason I can grasp myself, have assumed it's a double-entendre and a shipping hint.
FWIW, I think that Jeph intended the name to be a robotisation of 'Beatrice' but maybe I'm conventional and boring.

--- Quote from: Tova on 30 Nov 2018, 03:07 ---I thought I'd got it, but now I'm unsure, because I have no idea what the post by traroth is supposed to be explaining, or why you need to be American to get it.
--- End quote ---
The word is also used as slang for a male body part. :roll:
--- End quote ---
I am absolutely sure you don't need to be American to get that.
