First my apologies for probably posting this in the wrong forum (I could not find one for general banter, so this forum seemed to be the next best place), and secondly my apologies for what is probably a totally n00b question...

Anyway, what I want to know is what is the meaning of TuTu? - Last time I checked, Baldur's Gate had little to do with female genitalia (even with Romantic Encounters) so is this just some nonsense name, or does it actually mean something?

I remember reading something about it originally being called Baldur's Gate 2 Two (as in a second installation of BGII.. in windows, when you copy a folder and the name already exists, the folder name gets suffixed with a "_2") and that then degenerating into Tutu

But references to ballerina costumes I get... you got a reference to female wut now?

EDIT: And yeah, totally wrong forum

Baldur's Gate 2 Two

Close. Baldur's Gate to two, i.e. moving Baldur's Gate to Baldur's Gate II.

Lol that makes a world of a difference then (and a lot more sense than an obscure windows copy pasta reference )

(and a lot more sense than an obscure windows copy pasta reference )

Especially as today it's actually a *original filename* - copy.<file extension> ... but your memory has less holes than mine, I knew I knew that, just didn't remember anything...

This forum would probably be a suitable... reporting this thread to be moved, so you others don't need to... ouh, I cheesed...
@Lol, the iesdp index is there too. Yep, that's totally off topic...

Thanks! - That had been bugging me for sooo long. - Yeah, I know, anally retentive, etc. ...until you come to modding something and find out 4 weeks and 40Mb later that you should never build such and such as whatever unless it is a TuTu build, etc. - Oh, &^*&%^$^$%!

So at least now we know that it is mangled short form for ToTwo...

and, @Lollorian: yes, I know the proper meaning of tutu, but it has been used, incorrectly, as slang for something else, too ...and, this being a modding community you just know that if there is a dirty use of some word, however incorrect, somebody is going to use it over and above the usual usage of that word; hence my reason for assuming what I did.
