I need help and other things

[katikat]

Folks, my dear English speaking friends, I need your help with a certain word. What does mooshie mean or what does it hint at? I know that the Japanese word mushi means a bug and in the Czech language, we have muška which means a fly.

Mooshie is namely the nickname of one of the rangers in the Forgotten Realms books and I need to translate it.

Today, I finally received my DVDs: My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Michel Valliant and Crying Freeman. It only took the company a month to ship them to me... from a town that's two hours away from where I live! Even the DVDs from the US Amazon were here sooner! Sheesh! *grumbles*

Mooshie doesn't mean anything as far as I know. Since it's a nickname it's probably best to leave it untranslated. A lot of nicknames make no sense except to the people who use them.

Argh, but I can't leave it like that. Nicknames in general have to be somehow translated or turned so that it sounds Czech *headdesk*

My friends tend to use moosh as a verb, as in to knead something, (but in the giving a backrub way, rather than making bread way). It's slang, but whether that is regional or just specific to my group of nutcase friends I don't know.

Mooshie to me means something that has been squished or kneaded to make it more pliable.

I might be so off here, but to me, mooshie is like romantic, cuddley, the things that make me not so happy about het.
