pimp-daddies Explanation: I would think this refers to a clan or group of online gamers. There are many references on Google to the Quake clan of this name (see ref. below). Also often mentioned in music culture (black&blue, gangsta rap) where it seems to be a well used name (perhaps slang for someone really cool). The "quicky" here is probably a short posting to a bulletin board rather than something sexual (although the play on words is probably intended). hth Angie Reference: http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/4089/ |

Die Pimp-Daddies von XXX haben eine Kurznachricht hinterlassen Explanation: I agree with Johanna insofar as you should probably not translate these guys, otherwise you have no choice than Kim's proposals (he, he, he). Judging from my own experience in game translations (I did the German versions for Metal Gear and Genso Suikoden as well as about 150 user manuals), this are probably some of the peripheral characters. own experience |
