Which word in Westeros bothers you?


Recommended Posts

As a non-native English speaker, I love this thread! Because it reminds me of how my native language (Dutch) has the same origin as (Old)English.

It's al West-Germanic! The words you hate, like teats, nuncle, cunt, etc. are words that are exactly the same in Dutch and are still used today (not in a normal conversation though ;))

The feeling I personally get from reading this words, is one of the reasons i love ASOIAF. It feels old! It feels medieval! It draws a bond between old European cultures and the heritage our cultures share.

I personally dislike the word 'coz' because it feels to modern, to slang for me. But I know it dates from way before Shakespeare. Still, don't like it. :)

They should stop calling a vagina a 'sex' and start calling it something better, like minge, clunge or vertical ham sandwich

I just laughed out loud. I had to look up clunge (my new favorite), Minge is one of my favorites though. Are you from the United Kingdom?

Coz kills me.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
