Ms. Dragon Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Why is the curse in the skyward world "scud"? Where did Brandon get this idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 Taln Fan Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 I don’t know if Brandon did this intentionally, but a scud missile is a type of surface to surface missile, as well as a term for the action of moving fast in a straight line when driven by the wind. In Ireland its apparently a term meaning a harbinger of bad luck, and its also Scottish slang for naked. Personal crack theory: Some Scottish guy on old earth walked into a locker room at an awkward moment and yelled “scud!” And it caught on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
