Oh, i am only a german guy, but i understand "Full plate and packing steel",
but your interpretation is even funny. :o)
Minsc has a lot of nice comments, i will write down the best ones, when i
process in the game.
I like the "Kicking ass for goodness", because i am an oldfashioned

Just for fun, I checked the Oxford English Dictionary, which has a source
for the usage of the word as early as 1363:

The origins are German, and it means "To Strike"
it does not (as I know) date that far back..

Death Lok
......... is actualy an english phrase coming from the words "PLUCK
YOU" ....... in a war between france and england in the late-middle ages
england had excelent archers/bowmen and when ever an english soldier was
captured his 2 middle fingers where cut off to ensure he could nolonger
operate a bow, so pluck you was a war cry of sorts for the english they
would yell this and extend thier 2 middle fingers, to taunt the
french....... HAZAUH!!!! (and I failed history??? whats the world coming

No, it's his accent. He's actually saying:
"Squeaky will get stuck in'k!"
At least that's how it sounded to me.

No, he's saying Squeaky wheel gets the kick. It's a fairly common saying.
It usually means the loudest ones get the attention. In his case I think
he's complaining about the fact that just because he's the most verbose, he
has to do all the work (he only says it when you select him and make him do
something)

Actually, the common saying is: "Squeaky wheel gets the grease", which does
mean that the loudest, most complaining one gets the attention. Of course,
this makes no sense to Minsc, so he finds it more logical his way.

I see that smile.
But I still feel obliged to ask:
If it's an urban legend, then why is the "backwards victory" hand signal the
U.K. equivalent of "flipping one off" or "giving one the bird" (American
gesture) ?
Just wondering.

Thanks for those quotes. I have a hard time figuring out what he's saying,
sometimes. I especially like the "Camaraderie" quote. :)

Trying to make too much logic out of human perturbations will only

As far as I know it's true.
The English used it to taunt French soldiers, using it as an
indication that they have not been captured yet.
Just my 2 cents worth...

bird. It wasn't the two middle fingers though, it was the index and the
middle finger (which was probably what you meant but I thought I'd just
clarify it) to stop them from using their longbow (which had a distinct
advantage in range, damage and rate of fire over the french crossbow)
Thats why we always beat them :)

And do you have a trustworthy source for this information?
The problem here is that there is an awful lot of nonsense out there,
and the Internet allows it to multiply at an exponential rate. There's
any number of stories about where this sort of gesture comes from. Why
do you believe yours is the correct one?
---
As for beating the French, if you are thinking of Agincourt, there were
several factors involved, according to my somewhat hazy memory - the
weather affected the Genoese crossbows, rendering them nearly useless.
The French chivalry, overconfident due to their numbers and skill,
attacked on foot without them, and basically used no tactics. Many of
the knights believed that there wasn't enough English to 'go around', so
it was a general rush to be first. The English, meanwhile, positioned
themselves in a defensive position across an open field from the enemy.
The rains turned the fields into a morass that the French could barely
cross, making them sitting ducks for the archers. The struggle through
the mud, coupled with the heavy armor, meant that many of the French
died of exhaustion - as they fell, unable to continue, the press was so
great that their compatriots accidentally forced them into the mud and
they suffocated. It was a great victory for the English, and the use of
combined forces, including the longbows, turned the tide of the battle,
but other factors lead to that victory.

BBC television series called "Decisive weapons". They covered a wide
range of weapons over the ages that made a distinct impact on battles
and such. They covered things like the bayonet (spelling?), rifle,
samurai sword, harrier jump jets, some I can't remember (some impact
huh ;-)) and of course, the English longbow.
In the episode about longbows the had this guy who was basically the
world authority on English longbows, and he claimed that the origins
of the 'salute' was as I mentioned in the previous post.
Cheers,
Jaco
