This is England script query

[livietta88]

Hello there!

I am translating This is England script for study purposes but I have a problem with a prompt. When Woody says "I'm not fucking brainwashed Combo, listen to fucking Sigmund Void there."

Well, I tried to find something about that Sigmund Void, but I only found topics about Sigmund Freud and lots of pages of a band called Sigmund Void. Could someone help me with that?

Many thanks!!!!

I would say that Woody is implying that Combo thinks he is saying something clever.... like Sigmund Freud was known for being clever... but actually it's not clever at all.... so Woody is saying Sigmund Void because void means blank, or empty.... and it rhymes with Freud (even though the spelling is very different).

If that makes sense.

Yeah, my interpretation was that one as well, I was asking because it might could be an important personality belonging to the English culture, and I wouldn't know that

Many thanks for your help!
