    I am glad you guys are no longer mad at me. I was worried about it. I actually like getting on TF Fan sites from around the world to see the differences in toys and such. Thanks for accepting me to your site.

    I don't think anyone was mad at you.

    Slag is also a profanity for Transformers, so it can also mean "&$%# a 'Con!" ;D

    As I was told today by someone in the UK, it means something else that I will not repeat.

    That, but only because its also used to describe women of loose morals and ladies of the night...

    I thought the word "hag" referred to an ugly old woman (or "cosmetically challenged lady of advanced age" )

    The word "slag" is a human term for women of dubious morals, but I was saying that in _Transformers_ language it's an expletive, used in a similar manner as the four lettered S-word for excrement or F-word for copulation.

    e.g.:
    "Aw, slag!"
    "You sickening piece of slag!"
    "You got to be slagging me."
    "Slagging computer!"

    The use of the word "slag" as an expletive by Transformers originated in G1 ("The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 2"). (Reference)

    It's also a derogative term towards females as well.

    I have not posted here in a couple of days. I have been very busy with details about the convention. Stuff is starting to come together nicely. I have got a long way to go but I am happy with the way it is going.
