In the movie "Live," The announcer was asking people who do they root for:

A: Pablo, he is so cute.
B: I would have to say oyster, she I like.

Now what's the meaning of "oyster" here. Note that in the script, it was not capitalized and no competitor has the name "oyster."

Waiting for your reply
Thanks.

I haven't seen the movie, but I note from imdb.com that there is a female character named "Abalone". It wouldn't be inconceivable to refer to such a person as "oyster".

Yes! you are totally right. It never came to my mind to search about the names of the characters :oops: Yes, I found "abalone" is a sea creature in Wikipedia.

Thanks a lot really. :) :up:
