Addressing and referring to Splinter

*Scandia* · 05-28-2007, 05:30 AM

I think they only refer to him as just plain "Splinter" when talking about him without his being there. There are a few exceptions:

- the first word said by a Turtle was "Splinter"
- a Turtle in the first movie shouts "SPLINTER!" from a rooftop

I suspect it was Leo who spoke first and Raph who shouted it.

Usually it is just said in the third person. Such as in season 3 of the OT, the Turtles are in the van and realize that they forgot something. They are not sure what it is that they left behind- and then they all realize it and shout "SPLINTER!".
