Hello to all of you merry bastards. So good to see you all. Help me out ?
I need to get this to work well in english :
Uhh, this might be sort of offensive, evil and filthy and whatnot, sooo...
Anyway, they're talking about toy animals. Directly translated :
" Come upstairs to daddy's room, I've got a hairy toy for you .. ",
" Bah, it was a soft toy last time. "
The word for "a cute, cuddly toy animal made of canvas and whatnot" ripped directly from finnish is "soft toy". So, daddy says he's got a cuddly, hairy toy for her upstairs, and she doesn't want to go, because the last time it was too ... well ... I warned you that it was evil !
( Ignore me if you got upset. )
But native english speakers out there ... help ? |

Ouch ouch ouch!
" Daddy's got a new toy for you upstairs .. "
" Bah, bet it's a stuffed animal again. "
This is what you meant ? E-vil.
Won't work the way I wanted to phrase it in the first place ? |

Stuffed animals are what they're called here in America.
A better word for hairy is "furry" or "fuzzy"
I assume we're not talking about pedophilia here, so your dialogue should be something like
"your daddy has a new fuzzy toy upstairs for you"
"bah, bet it's a stuffed animal again."

Eww man
That's sexy! 
I just wanted to say that the word "bah" doesn't exist in spoken english 
Me and my friend invented and spread it all over the internet. |
