Bond Girls
vs.
Austin Power Girls Warning: contains many, many bad words
If
you thought "Pussy Galore" or "Alotta Fagina"
were just names, you might be shocked by their meanings. While both
Austin Powers and James Bond movies give women sexy names, the Bond
girls' names are slightly more sophisticated. But just slightly.
The Bond Girls
The Austin Powers Girls
the
innocent names
Kissy Suzuki (You only live
twice) As in "kiss."
Tiffany Case (Diamonds are Forever) Like
a jewelry box from Tiffany's.
Mary Goodnight (The Man with the Golden
Gun) She's good at night.
Bibi Dahl (For Your Eyes Only) Because
she looks like a "baby doll."
Foxxy
Cleopatra (Goldmember) "Foxy" is a 1970s word for
beautiful and sexy.
the suggestive names
Honey Rider (Dr. No) Honey is an endearment.
Ride is what she likes to do (on spies, not horses).
Xenia Onatopp (Goldeneye) On top is her
preferred sexual position.
Austin
Powers girls don't have suggestive names. Just bad ones!
the bad names
Pussy Galore (Goldfinger)
"Pussy" has several meanings. One is "cat."
(This is definitely not the meaning here!) The other two are: 1.
sex 2. vagina. "Galore", of course, is a non-slang word
meaning a lot of something...
Octopussy (Octopussy) See
above...
Plenty O'Toole (Diamonds are Forever)
"Tool" is slang for penis. In the movie, Bond asks her
if she was named after her father.
Dr. Holly Goodhead (Moonraker)
"To give head" is to perform oral sex.
Alotta Fagina (International Man of Mystery)
A deliberate parody of "Pussy Galore" (see left), the
pronunciation of this name is like "A lot of vagina."
Ivana Humpalot (The Spy Who Shagged Me)
Ivana sounds like "I want to." "Hump" means
to have sex.
Dixie Normous (Goldmember) A parody of
"Plenty O'Toole." Sounds like: "Dick's enormous."
Means: My penis is huge.
Robin Spitz Swallows (The Spy Who Shagged
Me) Like Dr. Holly Goodhead (left), this is a reference to oral
sex. According to the dialogue, her name was "Spitz" before
marriage. "Swallows" is her married name.
Felicity Shagwell (The Spy Who Shagged
Me) "Shag" is slang for have sex (not commonly used in
the US these days) In the movie, she introduces herself by saying
"Shagwell by name. Shag very well by reputation."
