Name of the device[]

I know that the confirmation of "Dweebsicle" is citated with a reference to the time it is spoken, but I heard "Dweebsuckle", which I think makes more sense in regards to how it functioned like a vacuum to capture Slimer.

In this case, we have just the way the voice actor pronounced the name of the device. No subtitles, no script, no storyboards, etc. to see what the correct spelling was. I'm going to guess how I rationalized it back when I did this article edit. Phonetically, it sounded like "Dweebsicle" to me with Dweeb putting emphasis when he said the "sicle" part as he gleefully took off his awful disguise that it sounded like "DweebSEcle" or "DweebSAHcle" phonetically. I also decided on "sicle" because he's selling freezer food - ice cream, popsicles and the like. But yes, it does fit the aspect of it capturing Slimer like a vacuum cleaner.
