Echo Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I am curious about all of the curse words in Brandon's books, and I can't find all of them. I would like to know more of them and would like you all to comment about the ones that you know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks! I also think that there is an Idos Domi from Elantris, but I am not sure, it could just be Merciful Domi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curiosity Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 SA: "Kelek's breath!" "Passions!" (Thaylen?) tES: "Days!" (Gaotona) Alcatraz: "Sparrows!" "Jays!" (More fowl language from Kaz...) "Walnuts, kid!" "Almonds!" "National Union of Teachers!" (More types of nuts, all from Kaz...) Grandpa Smedry swears by authors' names in the first book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccstat Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 There is a thread cataloging the ones we know from Roshar so far: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/7204-swearing-in-roshar/ I'm not aware of any lists for the other books, but they may be out there. Thanks for remembering those ones from Alcatraz, Curiosity! I had forgotten about those. What kind of comments were you hoping for, yokie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaladin Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Lift says "Starvin" Also Ishik says Vun Makak and Nu Ralik Warbreaker: has "Austre, God of Colors!" the "Tones" (What in the Tones are you thinking?) And this one was a joke in Warbreaker: "What in the name of You ... " (Blushweaver/Lightsong) Edited March 21, 2015 by Xaladin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this one was a joke in Warbreaker: "What in the name of You ... " (Blushweaver/Lightsong) Basically just substitute a Cosmere religious figure and/or some attribute of them into Earth profanity and it usually works.Sazed swore "by the forgotten gods" at the end of HoA.

Mattu00 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 In the preface to Chapter 80 of Words of Radiance the person writing says "Shadows Woman! Even I'm not that crazy." I know I've heard the curse "Shadows" before, I just don't remember where. Anyone remember? It would give me a clue into who is talking in this preface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Technovore Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Then there's the multitude of ways people swear by Harmony: "Oh Harmony!" "Harmony Above!" "Harmony!" x298 "Harmony's Forearms!" <- That one's my favorite XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure where you may have heard it... Perhaps Shadows for Silence? If you check a lot of the other drawings in WoR, look for this same handwriting. On some of them you'll see a name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
