Toy Story Mania and Buzz

[buntyt]

As much as I am looking forward to riding TSM in June when I visit I couldn't help wonder (and have a wee chuckle) at the naming of one of the games in The Disney press release - namely 'Buzz Lightyear's Flying Tossers'.

Having lived in USA for a couple of years I never came across the use of the word in everyday conversation but I am sure those of us over the pond in UK and especially Scotland are well aware what '' means over here.

Maybe someone should tell them.... Or maybe it's best left as it is!


:lol:

 

[denrock]

I give up. What does tossers refer to?

 

[MIDisneyFamily]

They just like to amuse our UK friends. Keeps them coming back.

 

[doop]

haha, I'm clueless as well.

EDIT: Nevermind, just looked it up on urbandictionary, and :lol:

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

WOW.

I thought I just LEFT high school...

 

[shanny]

[Fun2BFree]

Okay, that is pretty funny. :lol:

 

[Figment571]

Look oUT!!!

EW....I'm all wet.....

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

Hah!

 

[elizs77]

WOW - that is pretty funny. You would think a place as culturally sensitive as Disney would have caught that. But they didn't, so now we're laughing! :ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

 

[lawyergirl77]

Disney owes me a new keyboard for that name. Sheer brilliance!! :lol:

 

[chris chris]

Im Lost Please Tell

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

I don't think we can explain here....Just go to UrbanDictionary and type in the term...And prepare to die of laughter!:lol:


Naughty Disney.

 

[RedGear]

ummm i like some of the other suggestions for a definition too. . . :lol:

 

[mickeymaniacs]

Oh my Gosh my Hubby and I had a really good laugh at this...there are alot of UK people in Florida so how long do you think it will take until someone explains it to Disney?Oh I'd love to be a fly on that wall.:ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

 

[unkadug]

We should all keep our mind out of the gutter! :lookaroun :lol:

 

[buntyt]

Thanks Epcot Explorer - Urban Dictionary does a very good job! I didn't think anyone would actually read my post....

I think I won't am tell them partly in revenge for the dreadful tartan goat on IASW and also the awful UK pavilion at EPCOT. And ity's worth it for the snigger value especially if Buzz announces it!

Then again I might get my annual pass renewed for free if I do let them know...Oh wait I forgot it is Disney after all :ROFLOL:

 

[Woozle]

hahaha. i laughed quite a bit when i looked it up :lol:

 

[RSoxNo1]

They wouldn't need to be Tossers if they went to Monster's Inc Laugh Floor...

 

[DisneyAnole]

WOW - that is pretty funny. You would think a place as culturally sensitive as Disney would have caught that. But they didn't, so now we're laughing! :ROFLOL::ROFLOL::ROFLOL:

You mean the same culturally sensitive Disney that named an attraction something that abbreviates to MILF? Or the culturally sensitive Disney that almost sunk EuroDisney because they didn't understand that American culture isn't universally loved? Or did you mean the Disney that put an illustrated erection on the cover of the Little Mermaid VHS? Or the Disney that snuck a few frames of a naked woman into the Rescuers?
