Is this a slang, and possibly derogatory term, for "lesbian"?


_**Warning:** Potentially offensive terms._

I'm watching _[The Walking
Dead](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_%28TV_series%29)_ on [Hulu
Japan](http://www.hulu.jp) with [Japanese
subtitles](http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AD%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%83%BB%E3%83%87%E3%83%83%E3%83%89).
I've noticed that the English dialogue and Japanese subtitles differ a _lot_.
More than usual. It seems to me the quality of the translation is very low.

In one part, a character who is a vulgar racist propositions a woman, and she
turns him down. In the English dialogue, he derides her by calling her a "rug
muncher". Which is a derogatory term meaning "lesbian".

The Japanese subtitle for when he says this is, though, is:

> 菓子{かし}を盗{ぬす}みやがった

My understanding is that `やがる` is just a disdainful way of ending a sentence,
so it means something like, "fucking candy stealer."

I googled the phrase `菓子{かし}を盗{ぬす}み`, but didn't come up with anything clear.
It might mean "crybaby", but that seems odd - wouldn't `盗{ぬす}み` refer to the
thief, not the victim?

Since the overall quality of the translations is so low, this might not have
anything to do with what was said in English.

What does this phrase mean, and does it have anything to do with the original
English?




I don't know why people are afraid to put forward negative answers... so I'll
just do it myself.

The phrase seems to almost certainly be just some kind of mistake on the part
of the translator and has nothing to do with slang for lesbianism.

Also, it is not a common phrase used in any particular way when a woman turns
down a man.

It's just a really, really bad translation job.
