[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5587060, member: 34175"] "Gnome-nosed" a slang slander against an unattractive dwarven female - likely to end in a brawl (which often ends in a wedding). "Your mother is a goblin!" - enough said "My mother's beard is longer than yours!" - meaning the dwarf thinks you are too young or inexperienced. "Tree miner" - a quick reference to an elf said in mixed (non-dwarvish) company when a straight insult would be less than prudent. "I'd rather mine trees!" - Never! "When Grumush becomes my patron!" - When Hell freezes over "Slag!" - Dwarvish curse "I've never met a human I couldn't ignore" - comment on the human lack of long term thinking. "A gold nugget the size of your fist is less impressive when held up next to the vein" - Don't count your chickens before they hatch "Humans and halflings are like overgrown children, unfortunately they are children that know how to swing weapons." - Dwarven commentary on the younger races. "A hammer or pick can be used in war or peace, but an axe is only for blood!" "Worse than a troll's breath!" "Elves are like mold, they are quiet, soft and slagging everywhere!" - commentary on the elvish race "The dead don't lie." - hold your tongue (with the implication that if you don't you won't need to.) "As useful as a mud fortress!" - worthless "Copper and gold both shine!" - all that glitters is not gold. "Even a pebble has it's place." - Dwarvish moral to a child's parable - meaning size doesn't always matter. "Puffballs or Stems" - meaning either is fine or whatever, (refers to mushrooms) "You hit like an elf" - derogatory term meaning you are a sissy. "Fool's gold is still metal" - Every cloud has a silver lining. [/QUOTE]
