natc Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 It's been happening more to me lately. The other books don't do that to me, but something about those storming Vorin curse words just rolls off the tongue better than the rest. Part of it is probably because censor filters in internet forums (and real people) don't normally recognize Alethi I guess.
Lord Pifferdoo he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I heard someone today use "Night take me" as a curse today and I got so happy. 5
blad3mast3r he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I've said "Storm It!" soooo many times...... People are like: "what you say?" 1
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I swear purely for the reaction. So using Alethi curse words would ruin that ( Lol Ruin ). 2
natc Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 I swear purely for the reaction. So using Alethi curse words would ruin that ( Lol Ruin ). Well, I meant that more for those occasions where it'd be pretty bad to be caught swearing. . . though perhaps Vorin swear words in a church would be pretty ironic. 1
Newan he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I heard someone today use "Night take me" as a curse today and I got so happy. That's pretty badchull. 4

Oh, well if I'm around kids then I just say whatever I happen to see. Like if I stub my toe I'll just start yelling things like 'Oh towel feces' or 'Ow you stupid chair on a highway.' 1
natc Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Oh, well if I'm around kids then I just say whatever I happen to see. Like if I stub my toe I'll just start yelling things like 'Oh towel feces' or 'Ow you stupid chair on a highway.' You swear as strangely as David's metaphors sound.
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 You swear as strangely as David's metaphors sound. No-one has ever accused me of being normal. 1
natc Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 No-one has ever accused me of being normal. Normal usually is extremely weird. 2
Argent he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Not like an Alethi, but I still occasionally mutter "Light..." - a leftover from my The Wheel of Time days. 3
StormingTexan he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 The swears are very catchy in SA. I like to say "Storms, but she's hot" in my head when I see a pretty lady
Axies he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Never... SA curses are too soft and when I swear is because I need to do it to avoid breaking something (the "stupid table on a highway" SmurfAquamarineBodies mentioned early would get a kick to the real highway if I don't swear).In this I go more with Malazan Book of the Fallen curses... they have some kind of strange strenght in them "Hood balls on an anvil" being my fav.
Worldhopper he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Never...

In this I go more with Malazan Book of the Fallen curses... they have some kind of strange strenght in them "Hood balls on an anvil" being my fav. I always really liked 'Hood's balls on a skillet.' They seem to really like refrencing the God of deaths manhood in their curses. Malazan has some great curses throughout. Back to the Cosmere, I always kinda liked the Mistborn curse words more. Rust and ruins, always a nice one to say when your not actually mad but rather frustrated and in the presence of someone who would not appreciate 'f**king c**t.' Which is pretty much anyone with ears. 2
Redbird he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Pretty much only when I am around people who would get it. That and badchull, which is a pretty good replacement.
physicskid he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I have to second Argent. furthermore I actually get my WoT and WoK curses mixed up.
Kobold King he/him Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 The swears are very catchy in SA. I like to say "Storms, but she's hot" in my head when I see a pretty lady If you don't say it out loud, you might never know if that pretty lady is a fellow Sanderfan. 2
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Well so I'm rereading WoR because reasons, and I noticed that my 1 year old nephew was packing a spaz at the dog. No idea what it was about but I found myself thinking, "stupid airsick lowlander." I blame you Natc. 1
AerionBFII he/him Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 I heard a grumpy man say "Colours!!" behind me in the library and had to hide a little smirk.. 4
+Slowswift Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 I tend to swear using an insane mix of Reckonerverse curses and Rosharan curses. Me: "Storm it, you cremling! Calamity, what a mess." *Friend that I made up to prove a point*: "Er... okay..." 1
DanTheSeamonster he/him Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I normally only use Alethi swear words whenever there is inclement weather. Mostly because I enjoy the confusion on people's faces when I start cursing at a storm using the word . . . storms . It makes for a very redundant and humorous experience.
AerionBFII he/him Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Tried it once.... didn't feel right. So im sticking to the generically Earth curse words...
Curious Anamaximder he/him Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I said Storms like 20 times and I got weird looks.
