 The show also features slang not used in contemporary culture , such as adaptations of modern words , or new words altogether . For example , " shiny " is frequently used in a similar manner as the real world slang " cool " , and " <unk> " is used as a mild swear word . Written and spoken Chinese as well as Old West dialect are also employed . As one reviewer noted : " The dialogue tended to be a bizarre purée of wisecracks , old @-@ timey Western @-@ paperback patois , and snatches of Chinese " .
