So like. For me it has super different, actually lifelong context because my mom didn't want to tell me it means 'whore' when I was a very very young child and overheard her cousin insulting a girl in her class and asked her what does that mean...so she told me it was the name of a witch that went around eating children if they got too far away from their parents and other than that really weird early childhood trauma lol I've never seen the term used like.. ever so

I really did a double take here because what. What do you mean by that. What do you mean I've gone like 25 years of my life pretty much never hearing it again and then fucking Spamton of all people...

and Spamton in general is truly whatever to me, I think the narrative implications with him are interesting but other than that I don't have many feelings for him BUT

but do Deltarune fans know hochi mama/hoochie mama means whore bc like I keep seeing it used in ways where I feel like maybe not

#And dont get me wrong it can be used as an exclamation but given the context of how he's speaking about Noelle here #also it's AAVE but without even touching on that aspect /reclamation of the term for Black women i am just truly curious if people know lik #?#deltarune #i'm not even getting into whatever talks are going on about spamton i just wanna knoooww #like it really does make sense given how spamton seems to be a bit old that he would use that and maybe it's under the radar enough #that it's not immediately clockable like #i saw a few suggestions it's just an alteration to the term hoochie so easier to include #i also considered the possibility of the term 放置ママ given Deltarune's connection to Japanese however the term used in the Japanese version #is オジョーちゃん so there is seemingly no play on words happening #it would be interesting considering from what i've seen it's term referring to mothers who give too much of themselves and it's regarded #negatively as overextending in service to their children #which not an exact comparison here but the 'used up' lines come to mind when I consider it. Anyways though that wasnt it #'hochi mamas can get big too' is another little bit of dialogue seemingly directed at Noelle #it's a bit less suggestive than the game battle in Weird Route at least but that whole encounter was riddled w like.. spam redacted comment #ah. there was some theory of her being his mom which was kind of funny #someone asked if she was his mom on twitter and he was like 'you think that hochi mama is my mama hochi' ... so a little play on words ther
