Eeep? Wow... Conflict...

"Weasel your way out" refers to the fact that weasels are extremely long,
slender, and flexible, thus allowing them to fit their entire body through
any opening that they can get their head through. This makes them
exceptionally good escape artists, as well as lovers. Anybody who has
ferrets in real life knows this. (Especially after you find the ferret
somehow in an otherwise seemingly-inaccessible location).

Now, skunks on the other hand lack this benefit and just stink. At least
certain ones who smoke too much do. The sisters themselves may not be
quite as agile as weasels, but that's okay.

Well, given my statement about smoking skunks stinking, I guess it's a good
thing you're a cigar-smoking badger. ;)

A lot of people will disagree with this. The premise being that "Yiff"
does not or should not translate into a negative connotation. So in
positive use: "He screwed me until I was singing last night! It was
wonderful!", you can replace "screwed" with "yiffed". But in negative
sense: "95 down the twisty mountain road. Brakes died. Big cliff ahead.
Steering just locked up. Dude. We're screwed. (In the background, some
porcupine cackles gleefully as he puts away his automotive tools)"... Well,
'yiffed' just doesn't work for most people in that sense. Less so if you
try to say something like "Yiff you, you mother-yiffing yiff-sicle. You're
so yiffing yiffed in the head that your yiffing sense of yiffing humor is
yiffed beyond belief!"... REALLY doesn't work.

You know... if it wasn't for the smell that burning fur makes...
