Echo Posted March 17, 2015 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

Echo Posted March 17, 2015 Author 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
Curiosity he/him Posted March 17, 2015 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
ccstat he/him Posted March 17, 2015 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?
Echo Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 These comments are perfect, I just wanted to know more of the ones I do, mainly because I am curious.
Xaladin he/him Posted March 21, 2015 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

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.

Nicroburst he/him Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I can confirm Idos Domi for Elantris. 1
Kynedath Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks! I also think that there is an Idos Domi from Elantris, but I am not sure, it could just be Merciful Domi. I can confirm Idos Domi for Elantris. You guys are forgetting about Rag Domi

Mattu00 Posted February 22, 2017 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.
The Technovore he/him Posted February 22, 2017 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

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
