Also common phrases, like when we say "playing Devil's advocate" they say "Taking the side of the Traveler" so, we have: Dollurh! (sp?)= Hell The Flame/By the Sovreigns/ _____= God! Side of the Traveler= Devil's advocate Any more? Keith?
InfinityStar8 03-28-05, 02:43 PM	By the Five Nations!? = What in the World!? wow, I was thinking of so many others till I started to type....give me a few. :)
darkthought 03-28-05, 02:45 PM	Shiny as a warforged's tin ass. Goblin's snot! ...he stood there, like a a tribex staring in the eyes of a basilisk...
InfinityStar8 03-28-05, 02:53 PM	Drunk as a Dwarf! Ex: No more ale for you frind. Your as drunk as a Dwarf! Graceful as an Elf. Ex: Look at that knight! Even in plate she's as graceful as an Elf. Mean as an Ogre. Ex: When my father drinks he can be as mean as an Ogre. Smart as a Goblin. Ex: Wow dude, that took skill, you must be as smart as a Goblin! If all your friends jumped from a tower would you jump also? Ex: Think of your mother ;) Go kiss a Dragon! Ex: P*$$ off!

KP91 03-28-05, 03:17 PM	Crafty as a changling.
EvilDrPuma 03-28-05, 03:27 PM	An all-purpose curse: "Keeper take...(insert noun)!" References to the Sovereign Host or the Dark Six are frowned upon in Thrane, though. There, you're more likely to hear "The Flame consume...(insert noun)!", but not as a casual curse.
brotha_fas 03-28-05, 03:45 PM	Crafty as a changling. I'd actually say "Shifty as a changling." and "Shiftless as a shifter." If all your friends jumped from a tower would you jump also? Ex: Think of your mother ;) Don't talk about my mama!
polt 03-28-05, 04:29 PM	Let the Keeper have it - To hell with it
rbingham2000 03-28-05, 04:45 PM	"He's about as welcome there as a werewolf in the Church." This one refers to the Church of the Silver Flame, long known to be the enemy of werewolves and other lycanthropes, and refers to someone who is persona non grata in whatever place the speaker has mentioned.
Nightshade 03-28-05, 04:55 PM	Sgt. Dolom in The Forgotten Forge uses "Olladra's Bloody Nose!!!"
EvilDrPuma 03-28-05, 07:03 PM	Sgt. Dolom in The Forgotten Forge uses "Olladra's Bloody Nose!!!" I was trying to remember that one earlier, but I didn't have the book with me. How about, "That would have chipped Dol Dorn's armor!" ("Good shot!") Or the Zil classic, "That was easier than blackmailing a human!"
ydirbut 03-28-05, 07:56 PM	The official motto of Zarashk- Le Bons Temps Roulle. ( Might have spelled that wrong)
zambuka 03-28-05, 08:15 PM	I like khyber as a replacement for those four letter expletives. It has that short, firm punchiness that is required for good swearing. Try it and see :D .
InfinityStar8 03-28-05, 09:04 PM	Not one of mine bt can't find it again to offically copy it... Whatever floats your airship. Also I know some books had things like... By the Flame! - Oh my God! Crawl back into Kyber where you came from! POW! Zoom! Straight to the Rings of Siberys! - Sorry, The Honeymooners was a great show. I've got more Dragons then a House! - As in I'm stinking rich. (Remeber Dragons are what Platnum is called and House refers to all Dragonmarked houses)
TheRedRobedWizard 03-28-05, 11:13 PM	"Khyber on a Cracker!" - Oh crap. "Flamer!" - Bigot. "That's some Zil Speak." - Full of crap. "Dinoboinker!" - Halfling. "That girl wears Kundarak panties, man." - She is a tease. "Sharn Watchman" - Any corrupt official. "Horsef*****!" - Valenar (usually followed by a swift decapitation) "That's so friggin' Mrorish!" - Unfair, unjust, generally distasteful. "Velvet's Girl" - Woman of loose morals. Also, an effeminate male Changeling. "Three C" (Cannith Crafted Crap) - Warforged "Smart as a Karrnathi Pikeman." - A mindless idiot; see also "Goblin Wizard". "I ain't no Cyran." - Moocher, leech on society. Also, Darguul jokes are very en vogue this year. "I heard the Darguul are building a mobile fortress with a screen door." "Must be a Darguul firing squad, they're standing in a circle." "Didja hear the new Darguul navy has glass bottomed boats? They figured it'd be nice for their sailors to be able to see the old Darguul navy." "I saw a beautiful woman the last time I was in Darguun. She must have been a tourist too." "How do you spot the groom at a Darguul wedding? He's the one wearing the clean rags and rusty armor." "How do you stop the Darguul Warmachine of Ultimate Doom and Destruction? Shoot an arrow at the goblin pushing it." "How many Darguul does it take to change an Everbright Lantern? I don't know either, but those idiots keep trying. I think they're using a hammer now." -TRRW
Edymnion 03-28-05, 11:42 PM	Anything from Farscape (frell, yatz, dren...) or Wheel of Time (blood and bloody ashes...) should do nicely. :)
darkthought 03-29-05, 01:05 AM	"Khyber on a Cracker!" - Oh crap. :heehee
taski 03-29-05, 02:10 AM	I've been thinking of some for my Sharn-based rogue to use. By Balinor's butt! (For around children) By Aureon's ...! (For not around children) Kol Korran's polished platinum poo! (For calling someone on a lie) Devourer eat it! Fury consume it! Keeper take it! Mockery flay it! Shadow taint it! Traveler give it! Bloody bleedin' Bloods (When feeling uncreative) Bloody Karrns (Ironic) Flamin' Thranes (Rhymes) Airy Aundairy Fairies (Also Rhymes) Your wand is too small (To male artificer) I keep getting these junk letters offering wands of enlargement, maybe you'd be interested (To same artificer)
Stainawarjar 03-29-05, 08:26 AM	Big, floppy dragon **** Sorry :D
