It turns out that the Armenian alphabet has a letter “ս” that looks almost exactly like the Latin “u”. So you can write tսrd and only the very observant will notice that the “ս” is a little shorter than the “r”.
Hmmmm…. A moment ago I saw a comment on another strip (Big Nate) with a highly banned word. Maybe he tricked the comment nanny (for example using a Cyrillic letter), but I suspect they turned the nanny off.
But interestingly the comment nanny allowed him to post it. Of course it could be that he tricked her by using a letter from a non-latin alphabet, but it could mean they turned the nanny off.
It is indeed “shoulder of Orion”. Now, remember that the Orion constellation supposedly depicts a hunter, and he has two shoulders, on Betelgeuse and Bellatrix. Batty the replicant may be referring to either of those stars.
Well, I was afraid I would not be able to remember the exact quote, so to be safe I copied it from IMDb. But on the other hand, the also make mistakes, so for all I know you may be right!
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion… […] All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to die.
