Talk:Garbage scow

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

• I've been told that there should be a page on "Ferengi garbage scows" mentioned in "Author, Author". I find three mentions ("Final Mission", "Marauders", and "Author, Author") of "garbage scow" in general, so perhaps an article about that should also be created.--Tim Thomason 21:14, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Korax also referred to the USS Enterprise as a garbage scow in "The Trouble with Tribbles" and Jadzia Dax referred to the IKS Rotarran as a garbage scow in "Soldiers of the Empire". --User:Gvsualan

• In an amusing scene from "The Augments", Jonathan Archer pretended to be a Klingon official and threatened a Klingon captain that the latter would be placed in command of a garbage scow if he didn't leave Enterprise alone. Yet another reference. :) --From Andoria with Love 18:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I've modified the article to remove the word "blastphomeous", which was, I believe, a typo for "blasphemous". Since that term is typically used only with sacred things, I have revised it accordingly. Aholland 19:11, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I would like to understand why the word "blasphemous" (spelled correctly at least) has been reinserted; as archivists we need to be precise in word usage. It means "grossly irreverent toward what is held to be sacred; "blasphemous rites of a witches' Sabbath"; "profane utterances against the Church"; "it is sacrilegious to enter with shoes on" [syn: profane, sacrilegious] 2: characterized by profanity or cursing; "foul-mouthed and blasphemous"; "blue language"; "profane words" [syn: blue, profane]. Neither of these definitions make sense in the context of the sentence or the conversation had on K-7. Scotty never characterized the insult as "blasphemous". In fact, he just called it an "insult". Can whoever put the word back please explain the reason and the definition used? Thanks. Aholland 12:01, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
