@@uniqueviolet7903 The showrunners thought it just sounded funny, but 'smeg' is a contraction of 'smegma', which is a collection of dead skin cells that forms underneath the foreskin of the penis. So a smeghead is a penis head, or worse, an unwashed penis head.
An Introduction To Insults, love the idea that Lister has not only worked out a curriculum of lessons for Kryten but named them too. Proves Lister can achieve stuff when he puts his mind to it.
1:40 So glad Starbug got a steering wheel in Series IV. Looked kind of weird with just gear sticks and levers in Series III. Even better when they change the steering wheels in Series VII.
Andrew Chapman I've never noticed that. I've seen the series couple times, but I've never paid attention to details like this, but I guess I'll finally rewatch the series once more and look for the smaller things in there :) (and then I maybe will be able to call myself a true fan lol)
I called somebody a smeghead without having ever heard of this show. Somebody showed me the screen shot at 0:44, I found this clip, and now I’m in love with this scene
To be honest, Kryten calling Rimmer a smeg head should not have been an issue regarding his truth programming 😆 Edit: Even though he is one I'd still be his friend.
At least unlike so many other Sci-Fi shows *cough* Star Trek *cough* Red Dwarf never became bad or unwatchable, yes some of the later seasons are weaker than 1-6 but it’s still fun. So many current shows can learn a thing from RD.
