Severance Season 2 Episode 2 is now live and has brought us something we have been waiting on for quite some time. This episode shows us the aftermath that fell upon the outies after Dylan activated the Overtime Contingency Protocol. Even though the consequences were not as dire as we expected them to turn out, Helly Eagan did have to hear an earful from her father who called her a Fetid Moppet and in this article, find out what it meant in Severance Season 2 Episode 2.
Severance Season 2: Fetid Moppet Meaning Explained
After Helena Eagan’s innie gives a fiery speech, Helena is taken to her father, and even though Helena’s innie caused outrage, her father had an outburst of anger on her and calls Helena a “Fetid Moppet”. If we look at the meaning of this word, we see that Fetid Moppet is an insult that dates back to the 1600s.
It is a combination of two words, Fetid (having a heavy offensive smell) and Moppet (a child). These terms were used in old English and since Severance season 2 is gradually providing us with a deeper look at the Eagans, using insults like Fetid Moppet makes complete sense in Episode 2. Even though this insult is as ancient as it gets, it does affect Helena very much and she even records a public apology talking about how whatever she said was done under the influence of alcohol.
Since Helena’s innie also lied to her co-workers at the MDR, there is a prevailing theory that Helly might be her outie. So, let’s wait and see what happens, and till then, stay tuned with us for more updates!
