There are several vessels next to the Infinite Succor, are they to be considered canon or artistic licence? | There are several vessels next to the Infinite Succor, are they to be considered canon or artistic licence? | ||

I'm confused why my edit suggesting the "Infinite Succor" being a pun for "Infinite Sucker" was rejected so completely. As soon as I learned how "Succor" was pronounced, it seemed like an obvious pun. I know ''The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor'' is more serious a story than the doodle about Master Chief's day off, but that doesn't preclude the author from making a joke. Is it because "Sucker" alludes to the degradation associated with performing oral sex on a man and people are repelled by the obscenity? Because American culture is almost entirely ignorant of that etymology, similar to "Wuss." You can see it cropping up on kids' shows all the time. It's not considered obscene, so I don't understand the knee-jerk reaction. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#800080">Dragon<font color="#DE397E">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#6600D8">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 11:05, 1 December 2015 (EST) | |||

:I don't really see the pun? "Infinite Sucker" isn't really a common insult. Double entendre insults do exist in ''Halo'' (see "jir'aul") but this doesn't seem much like one of them.

::"Sucker" is, though? Like "Big sucker." It's like a schlimazel, which is what the ship is. /me shrugs. --<b>[[User:Dragonclaws|<font color="#800080">Dragon<font color="#DE397E">c</font>laws</font>]]<sup>([[User talk:Dragonclaws|<font color="#6600D8">talk</font>]])</sup></b> 03:23, 2 December 2015 (EST) | |||
