Replacement

[Vaincast]

Well...since alot of you are gonna hate me for this but hey I'm still mad about the word "Dilly Dally Shilly Shally". I'm just wondering what could you have replaced it for?

[RiseToFall]

Oh jesus, will people just get over it.

Dilly Dally Shilly Shally.

[Zeromus_X]

It's pretty much the only replacement they could think of for an equally silly onomatopeia.

Kiki lala lala kiki. :bigsmile:

For some reasons I'm fine with it...Dilly Dally Shilly Shally it's cute..

[Sefie1999AD]

I'd have replaced Tifa's line with this:

"Listen, Cloud, I'm now going to say something that's going to annoy the living out of loads of people, who are so shallow that they never get over it, no matter how much they like or dislike the rest of this movie. But seriously, who cares? It's their loss. So here we go. Dilly Dally Shilly Shally. There, I said it. Dilly Dally Shilly Shally. Complaints? I'll say it once more. DILLY DALLY SHILLY SHALLY! Now if you can't get over that, I'm going to sing "99 Bottles of Elixirs on the wall" until we're down to "1 Bottle of Elixir on the wall". Got it?"

dragging, dragging, dragging

[-Red XIII-]

they coulda replaced it with "Shave my head" for all I care. that was horrible... like I said somewhere else, I'd rather hear "zuruzururzurru" all day than... I dare not speak it.

[Ryushikaze]

You'd rather hear Tifa repeat a dragging noise all day than listen to four english words? Your priorities aren't just on backwards, they're upside down.

[blackmage_nuke]

Actually i think it would have been better just to cut out that scene

[Dragon Mage]

OH MY [!]F**KING[/!]*snip* GOD!!!! Will you just get over it! It was the best translation form the original script. If you have any complaints, go bitch to the script writer! He's the one that did it! And spare the rest of us your mindless bitching, because you didn't know what those few words meant!!

And you know what, your right I hate you, for making this thread. I. Hate. You. Hate

Dragon Mage, that was absolutely uncalled for. This is a warning. Do not speak to any members on this site in that manner again. There is also a profanity filter in place here for a reason. Do not go around it.

[Dragon Mage]

I wasn't trying to get around it, intentionally at least. I blanked out words to prevent it from being offensive but so that it would be legible. If it was to much than I was relying on the filter to change it. I apologize, I didn't realize that it wouldn't change it. I thought it would've.

zuruzururzurru. It's not a matter of not knowing what the words mean, its a matter of them sounding incredibly stupid. :mad:

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

whats zuruzuru mean anyway. Dilly dally has to do with what she was trying to say, according to Reno. But, um, whats a shilly shally.

If I had to pick, I think they should have kept zuruzuru. Tifa is cute when she does that.

[Ryushikaze]

whats zuruzuru mean anyway.

Let me directly translate. "scrnk. scrnk. scrnk. scrnk." Zuruzuru is Japanese onomatopoeia for dragging.

Is it that hard to look in a dictionary? They're actual English words.

Yet it would make no sense in English, seeing as it's Japanese noises.

[atlanteay]

just get over it... what other words are there to make an equally comical noise as "zuruzuruzuruzuru" and still make sense? i thought it was pretty ingenious to use dilly dally shilly shally.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Yes it was ingenious. I could have never come up with that b/c I had never heard of a shilly shally before.

[atlanteay]

well then it's your fault because it has a meaning.
