Well, yeah, what Avraham said....
But also because she's a lovely, strong female character in a religious
text that's full of men, men, men. Of course, Lilith (who's sorta Old
Testament, even if she's not exactly *in* there, or that Persian queen
(whose name escapes me at the moment, darnit) who refused the command of
her husband, and got supplanted by that perfect Jewish girl who used the
position to save her people?
What can I say? I've got a great fondness for rebellious women!
And "weg" stands for "wicked evil grin" (at least in these
parts)....similar, but cleaner, than s**t-eating grin.
