A line late in the film

Bothers me on and off and has for years. It's during the scene when they're all sitting around the firepit, and all the girls gradually start admitting that they're virgins, and Cinder is apparently all alone in her sexual experience. Right before Sunshine punches her in the face she says something that sounds like 'you're all absolutely edrubic'. Although I know that's not a word. Maybe she said 'cherubic'. I'd love to know what she actually said, because it was apparently offensive enough to make a hippie girl haul off and belt her. Anyone know what she actually said? You'll be helping me solve a years-long mystery. Thanks...

In the novelization of the film, the word is indeed "cherubic". I think Sunshine just took offense to Cinder thinking that they were all so unsophisticated and immature. This has been answered elsewhere on this board at one time, so damn that Cinder for not enunciating clearly enough!

She definitely said "cherubic". I just saw the film twice in two days. I had forgotten how good it was.

Mama just loved her little sweet potato baby, with a face like a parboiled yam.

OMG, how hilarious! I have been wondering for YEARS what she says here (yes, I admit I've seen this movie more times that I can count...I love it) and it's so funny to know others wondered it to. Now I know and I can rest easy! :)

she definetly said cherubic, she was telling them that they were little cherubs, they had no experience, that they were too innocent. Sunshine punched her because the girl still didn't understand the trouble that was caused
