Buffy to be canceled!

[Chauzu]

That got your attention. That is my prediction anyway. It is down 27% over last year and Ms. Gellors contract is up.

Dang, you had me hoping there. Oh well, maybe you'll be right.

Well, maybe it is because the "Learning English" books we used in school are a bit old. They used the term there, and I think it is helpful to make the difference clear.
(In German, there was never such a distinction , and thus, the actual meaning sometimes is unclear. I thought it was a "good idea" of the English to have these words...)

I'm guessing the role of the character in question would be Frauenzimmer, if I'm remembering my German right?

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Well, maybe I always misunderstood "girlfriend", but "Frauenzimmer" doesn`t fit. A "Frauenzimmer" is just a more or less degorative term for a woman. But it is also an old expression, no more commonly used. Today expressions might be something like "Ische" (for a girlfriend, like in: "Er hatte seine neue Ische dabei... Dicke Titten aber nix in der Birne"). Other terms for woman are "Schnalle" or "Schnitte" (the last one describes an attractive one)


But, erm... Back to topic? But which was the topic? Not bisexuality.

It is clear that Buffy ends this season, I think.
But what Whedon does after it, I can`t say...
He should work together with the guys from FarScape and make a "canceled but great sci fi shows" revival show.

Was trying to recall from school German lessons the word for prostitute, that being the likely role of a white woman 'girlfriend' to deceased black man in the 1970s Shaft movie. I have not watched Shaft beyond the opening credits though so can't say for sure!

If she was "just" prostitute, her emotional reaction seemed a bit to strong. (And her appearance didn`t fit), but who knows - Maybe I missed something, I watched Shaft in English and could not understand everything (especially the slang).
(Oh, and be aware I watched the "new" version with Samual L. Jackson..)

Here is an interesting article about the possible future of Buffy:

Sorry old news just saw that it was put in another Buffy post

A prostitute can be attached to her pimp...

But for all I know the victim was a college professor and the woman his fiancee, I'm just going by '70s stereotypes.

Ah, right. Forgot there was such a thing.
