Shouldn't "yuki-onna" be "winter girl"?

Snow woman, yeah. But it's a pretty profane term
by itself, there's no need for it to be translated.

That's the best use for "profane" I ever saw.

I'm also voting to keep it as Yuki-onna.

But what does it mean? Snow woman/ice queen doesn't seem to suffice in this context...

I would say it's a species of youkai, so basically she's telling all youkai of this species to leave.

oh yeah, I think I fought those in Oboro Muramasa... I had misunderstood it as Yuuka saying she was getting out, and it was just awkwardly phrased.

Whoops, looks like the word doesn't mean the same thing it means in my native language. Should have paid attention even though they're spelled the same.
