Oh interesting, I took neither to mean not fair because she doesn’t fight fair and not maiden because she doesn’t want to be treated that way by him. I actually didn’t know maiden was tied to sex at all 🤔
Yeah it’s the literal meaning but not many people use it that way. I’m not surprised the censors let this one slide, even if it was in the script they wouldn’t have got it.
Nah. You could always at least reference fucking as long as you didn’t use the word “fucking.” Now if she had insinuated that she farted, that would have been immediately barred. Farts couldn’t even be referenced.
Am I missing something? I don’t understand how this would be an issue for censors
“Neither” means

The equivalent of baseball’s scoreless inning is called a “maiden over” in cricket.
All of a sudden the phrase “maiden voyage” makes a lot more sense, never thought about it before

Yeah IDK I’m not a 1960’s censor so I kinda think maybe they wouldn’t care either way.
And here I was thinking it’s something about her gender.
Im betting the “not fair” would still have been an issue as it draws attention to race, which was pretty taboo at the time.
Her and Shatners kiss was the first interracial kiss on television, and it caused all sorts of issues.
Race?
Sure, how far?
