Are those words part of the Japanese version of Astro Boy? :wacko:

I didn't know "bum" was such a strong word. My dictionnary tells me it can be a synonym for "good for nothing", which is about how I understood it. But then, in my French Canadian province, f*** and s*** aren't even considered strong words... ;) We have our own way of swearing! ;)

I recall Astro saying "good for nothing" to his opponent a few times here and there. "Hey, you bum!" instead would have been quite funny too! :P

Also, let's not forget that in the Japanese language, words like those arn't considered as vulgar as they are in English. I've seen them allow the "D" word, the "H" word, and the "A" word in Sailor Moon. Heck, I saw Dr. Eggman say the "B" word in a subtitle of Sonic X.
