The Description Game
HamsterIV:
Geirmunder refers to an engineer who does not clean out old engine grease before applying new engine grease. Engines maintained by a Geirmunder will be serviced in record time. Unfortunately leaving an engine in the care of a Geirmunder for too long will result in poor performance due to "Gear Mud."
Roctapeling
Coldcurse:
"Roctapeling"
The correct term here is "Roctapelled".
This reverse to the old experiment Muse used to work on when they started to use highly trained sealife as weapons.
The word excists of 3 parts. Rocket, Octopus and Propelled.
Muse experimented in a way to creata Rocket Propelled Octopusses, these could be the ancesters of the T.A.R. (Trained Aqualife Re-used) barrel.
The R.P.O. (Rocket Propelled Octopus) device could only be mounted on the back of the ship due to its design.
As the R.P.O. devise lanched the octopus would get scared and produce ink, clouds would turn black and the ink would hurt the engines and made nasty spots on your clothing.
The R.P.O. device was later cancelled by the higher command of Muse because a one use only was too inefficient.
Muse has destroyed every evidence of this experiment but few still know.
All the squids are placed in barrels and used for future projects.

Scrapdunes
James T. Kirk:
Scrapdunes, despite the name, have nothing to do with the battle arenas know as 'Desert Scrap' or 'Battle on the Dunes' but instead have to do with the mass junkyards theorized to be scattered through the world.
These 'scrapdunes' are said to contain meaningless junk and worthless trinkets, if an adventurer was lucky (or daring!) enough to find one.
These untold treasures of mediocrity have never been found (be it because they are hidden so well, because they don't exist, or nobody has ever looked for them, nobody knows for sure), so 'Searching for scrapdunes' has become a common idiom among the people, meaning 'putting a lot of work into something that reaps no reward'
