not completely sure, but maybe to make her known as 'the bride' - sort of like the 'man with no name trilogy' type movie.

So that her identity is only revealed in the sequel. But then again there was completely no point to that...It wasn't like her name was a vital clue to an ending or anything.

He figured that by bleeping the name it would force you to pay more attention to the important parts of the movie... like feet.

yeah, she was supposed to be referred to as The Bride.

But the man with no name trilogy actually had a name in each of those movies.

Man, no kidding. I'm not picky about feet (anyone who knows what mine look like knows why) but DAMN! - Uma's dogs is nasty.

There was at least one thread discussing it a little while ago. I'm sure if you really want to know you can search and find it, since you're only going to get smart ass answers here.

You could type those 2 lines but you couldn't just say what the 3 letter acronym is? That's as annoying as people typing repost.
 

i think it's for the whole WTF factor

she was referred to as "kiddo" multiple times and the viewer didn't know her name
then when her name was revealed, the viewer realizes that it was known all along, just not completely

She was also called "Bea" several times too. So we knew her whole name the whole time, but didnt know it till the end.

It's a Tarantino tactic to get viewers talking abotu the film. The same reason why we never know what was in the suitcase in Pulp Fiction. No real affect on the plot, but something for us to talk about

It is barbeque.
It was added on the end because it makes no sense.
omgwtfbbq is where is came from (SA supposedly), they added on bbq to poitn out how stupid all these acronyms were, like OMGWTF!!112

So you shouldn't have a go at someone for not posting that it meant what you said they couldn't say it meant.
