idkipoststuff I'LL PROTECT YOU, FAIR MAIDEN. SORRY, NEITHER. did... did she really say that? iconic "Excuse You, i am Black and i F---" Skoalastick OTO Best part: this was improv. George wasn't supposed to have a line there, he was supposed to brandish the sword, grab her and leave. George decided to ad-lib a line because he thought it was funny and that it was in character. So Nichelle had no idea that George was about to say anything. They start the take, George leaps over there, grabs her and says his line. And Nichelle Nichols, not Lt Uhura, looks at him with That Look on Her Face, and in two iconic words lets the world know what she and Lt Uhura are about. Source: quarkgender 44,539 notes

Klingon Large powerful omnivores from the planet Qo'nos, the Klingon's rule an interstellar empire able to militarily challenge the United Federation of Planets. Evolved from wetland-dwelling creatures, feirce competition for feeding resources and breeding rights by 'beachmaster males led to the development of intense territoriality and aggression mediated by a culturally instilled sense of honor. Alex Ries 2018
Height: 100cm Ferengi The Ferengi evolved on a hothouse world, their population concentrated in the perpetually wet tropical regions of their planet. Ferenginar. Individuals would fly between forests and wetlands seeking out population booms of the in- vertebrates that made up the bulk of their diet. Long slender forelimbs and an extensible second mouth allowed them to wheedle out prey from the smallest spaces, later lending them the dexterity needed for technological development. Due to the boom and bust nature of their primary prey, and their own rapid metab- olisms, Ferengi evolved a highly compet- itive instinct. Increasingly complex social groups layed claim to particular areas and protected them fiercely. However, rather than maintaining control through bloodshed, Ferengi engaged in trade. Groups that held mineral rich areas, for example, would exchange their holdings for food from the humid swamps, and a complex network of decentralized commerce developed that was formalized in the creation of the Ferengi Alliance under which most modern Ferengi live. The Alliance was financially deregulated but aggressively socially conservative towards females. It remained so until the work of the Ferengi Ishka and her son Rom began social liberalization.

I'll try and explain it as best I can.

By responding "neither" to the term "fair maiden" she's saying she's neither "fair skinned" nor a "maiden." I think in a lot of old fashioned media "fair" typically meant "a fair skinned woman" who was usually white, and "maiden" means "an unmarried young woman" who would also likely be a virgin. So by saying she's "neither fair nor a maiden" she's saying "I'm black and I'm not a dainty virgin."
