My favorite goo ball utterance is, or what sounds like, "Yamako!" 

Perhaps because it is one of the rarer sayings, and there's just something so cute about it.

I pored through the game files and couldn't find this sound clip.  Anyone know where it is? :D

I second that.  The profanity patch had beeter come up with something equally precious before replacing it.  It sounds Japanese, but Yamako is not a Japanese word, it could be pidgin Japanese for "Mountain Girl,"(Yama = Mountain, -ko = suffix attached to a girl's name).

Anyone else have a translation?

My favorite as well, but I don't think us humans can translate Goobish to English.
