Merlin Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 Has anyone else started saying "storms" or "lord ruler' as an everyday exclamation? People always look at me like I'm crazy when I miss a shot in basketball and shout "Storm it!". 5
imriel452 Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 It’s not Cosmere but ‘Bajad Drovja’ is a common one for me, along with ‘Frak’ and ‘Frell’ because I’m an all encompassing sci-fi and fantasy nerd! 1
+robardin he/him Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I don't reach for Cosmere words for ordinary swearing, no. But I do find myself playing Words With Friends and being annoyed that words like CHULL, FABRIAL, and SKAA were not in the game's dictionary. What? But they're in MY mental dictionary! 1

Hmm. In the non-Cosmere area, one word I find myself using for fun is hrair, the Lapine word to mean "uncountably many" for rabbits in Watership Down. (Which a footnote notes means "more than four" since rabbits can't count very high. Heh.)
+Invocation Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Yeah, I use all sorts of sci-fi/fantasy stuff to curse around my parents and small children. I called someone a nerfherder the other day and told them to storm off. I got some strange looks. 4
+Croaker's Apprentice he/him Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 My brother and I address each other as "Lord" in text messages; if you watch the Last Kingdom tv show on Netlfix you will understand this !
SplinterOfHonor he/him Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I'm fond of 'Storming Colors' personally.
Truthless of Shinovar he/him Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Stomrfather, Lord Ruler, and Colors, by Kelek's Breath and Kalad's phantoms, I will use all of the rusting Cosmere curses in one storming breath! 3
Vogelsang he/him Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 "Merciful Domi" and "Heralds be blessed" are two common ones for me.
+robardin he/him Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 From the not-at-all real advance copy of The Lost Metal that I totally have not had a look at: Quote "By Harmony's lost testicles!" Steris shrieked, pointing to the enormous windows of the cathedral facing the sunset. The profound blasphemy, coming from such an unexpected source, shocked everyone - even the red-eyed Trellists - into a stunned moment of surprise. As if against their will, everybody stopped and looked in unison, squinting into the light of the sun on the horizon. Almost everybody. In that moment of stillness, Wax and Wayne blurred as Wayne put up a flared speed bubble large enough to contain the entire room - but because everybody else was still processing what was, or was not, happening, they had the advantage. With several well-aimed blows, all seven of the Trellist agents appeared to Steris to just collapse at the same time. "Now THAT'S how you do the Covingtar Hoedown," Wayne said with satisfaction, as he dropped his bubble. Seeing Steris' look, he added, "You know, the Do-Si-Do. In Covington it's done with three people." "I can't believe you talked me into adding that to my list," grumbled Steris.
