Frylock

[Betty80]

In the message thread "Question for Frylock," spineless asks where the "lock" in Frylock comes from. When I tried to reply, the thread was closed (how weird is that!), so here is the answer:

I believe the name "Frylock" was created because it rhymes with "shylock." That is a slang term for a loan shark. It is derived form the character Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, who was a usurer (moneylender). Not that Frylock is one, just that it rhymes.

Brush up your Shakespeare. ;)

I think you could of just sent him a privite message insted of making another thread about it.

Yeah but then none of us would know this...though I think it's because of his fry hair.

Frylock = Wizard

Wizard = Warlock

Warlock = Male Witch (essentially)

[Mystic Shadow]

Frylock = Wizard

Wizard = Warlock

Warlock = Male Witch (essentially)I am gonna go out on a lim here and say, he's right. The lock does not derive from shylock or that his fry's are locks of hair, but it comes from warlock. So, I think that's the correct answer.

Actualy the term witch applies to both sexes apparently, a Warlock originaly had another meaning....I want to say traitor, buit I'm not sure on that part...

I'm still trying to figure out what Master Shake is a master of? Ignoring people? Excuses? Tv watching?

I'm still trying to figure out what Master Shake is a master of? Ignoring people? Excuses? Tv watching?I think it's because he was the self apointed "leader" and Meatwad's "master." Of coarse I could be dead wrong on that.
