GoIo swearwords
« on: August 15, 2013, 11:59:14 am »
So, do you gentlemen have any verbal marvels to share?

I personally am very fond of the term "groundhog." In German, people without experience at sea are sometimes insulted as "Landratte," which basically means land rat. The English translation would be landlubber, I believe. Groundhog would be the same equivalent for crewmen aboard airships and I very much enjoy using this term!

Another great habit I adopted from Totalbiscuit is cursing in the name of Jesse Cox and his scurvy knaves.

I also like to insult my opponents as "scurvy ridden bandit scum" in general.

I can put enough contempt and disgust into my voice when I say "Powder Monkey"  that I think that term should be a GOI swear word. Beyond that I would wait for adventure mode to come out so we can come up with some faction specific swears.

Some people say my father smelt of elder berries. My father is a good, honest man who toiled in the elder berry patch to earn enough so that I could have a education. The smell of elder berries is not a source of shame to me, but a source of pride.

This may seem like the absolute stupidest question ever, but are you talking about Paul von Hindenburg, president of Germany 1925-34?

(Again, this is probably a really stupid question, but I'm kinda confused)

Back in beta there was a player called Admiral Hindenberg, and he'd always talk in a hilarious pirate voice.

That one is indeed quite nice, Charon!

So what about insulting ships? Does anyone have something like this?

"Your ship looks like a rotting skywhale with an eating disorder and your desperate screwing of the helm doesn't make it any more nimble!"
