Funny Expressions From Your Neck of the Woods

[JimAde]

A popular swedish comedian once mixed up several old swedish proverbs (on purpose). THey are _weird_ if you translate them to english:

"He who makes his own bed often knocks over a small tussock, over and over again."

"He who yells over the mad bird won't see the trees for the legs."

I'm going to have to use those for my next deranged NPC.

As a slow defenseman (hockey) from the farming country of Ohio, I often find myself telling my younger, and less beer laiden (read: faster), teamates that, "the dog the $h*ts fast doesnt $h*t long". Or, "its better to be pissed off than pissed on".

"Shaking like a dog sh*tt*ng razorblades" - From a song, but I've picked it up. Shaking like crazy.

"Flurb" - Slang among some LARPers I know (they do the kind of LARP where role-play means beat each other up) for nerds or excessive rolplayers. If you've ever had a character (or LARPed a character) with drow, elves, dragons, fairies, or cat-people in your background, you may be a flurb. If you have at least 2 of the above, you're almost definately a flurb. If yo uhave all of the above, you're some kind of patron Saint of Flurbiness

I don't see how LARPers can cast stones against said character choices, but to each their own.
