And, I do not believe than Jancis swears.
Jancis only swears on the grace of the Twelve.Â
She had some beautiful words for Jin'li though. ...I wish I logged them.
If those words weren't along the lines of:: "Kindness", "Kindly" or "Would you kindly..." Jin'li is disappointed in Jancis' unsaviour words. Lol.

Nebula used "Frogs" a lot, or some other nonsense

Don't worry. Franz has "a kindness" for Jin'li when he's feeling better. Expect PMs for a friendly visit.

She did? Gods I wish I remember what I said at three in the morning after RPing all day long with the pilgrimage then the grindstone then thinking about cake.
Kindly give it to him, Franz! Lalalalala~
Also on the terms of swearing, I think there's a rumor somewhere about a crow from a crow and that crow might have been something of Jin'li... does that count? mwahahaha
RE: Eorzean's swear - Knight Kat - 02-26-2015
Here's one likely many of you have not seen: "swive". It was said by a White Rams NPC in Dragonhead. It means "fuck". "Shite" is also used a lot by many NPCs.
Now, some likely official and unofficial swears Kiht uses are:
"Tail-less cur"
"Holy Menphina"
"What the Hells?"
"Bastard"
"Arse"
"Boar-shite"
"Sun-slut" < (This is a new one that she makes sure to never say around Seekers she likes
)"piss poor"
RE: Eorzean's swear - Chris Ganale - 02-26-2015
TBF, anyone who's done Sastasha HM has seen swive.
RE: Eorzean's swear - Jaliqai - 02-26-2015
This thread makes me feel happy and warm inside because I was totally a sailor in a fantasy novel in a past life.Â
Personally, I seem to like comparing things to a 'goobbue's arse' in various ways and contexts. Somehow, some way, that's ended up my de facto 'curse' across all my alts. I don't even know.
RE: Eorzean's swear - Verad - 02-26-2015
I tend to use "By Oschon's bunions" an awful lot.
RE: Eorzean's swear - Cato - 02-27-2015
My character doesn't swear often since he's fairly well spoken. If he did, though, I'd go with what can be encountered in-game already rather than a lot of the 'modern' stuff that some people swing with.
The likes of 'Fuck', 'slut', 'gay' and 'retard' just feel very out of place to me. There's other words that are used by actual NPC's that have the exact same meaning without making a scene feel like I'm interacting with a modern day chav.
On a side note, I'm British myself and I've noticed that a lot of role-players like to add what they think is 'British' slang to their character's vocabulary. My advice? If someone who is actually from England can't understand what your character is saying then chances are most other people struggle as well. Might be a good idea to tone stuff down a bit unless it's intentional!
RE: Eorzean's swear - Darcey O'Shae - 02-27-2015
Seeing as how the la noscean rogues guild seems to draw heavily from Matsell's "Rogues Lexicon", the majority of the slang is actually from 19th century New York...
The curse words were plentiful, but nothing like what we consider swearing now. For anyone who wants an education in criminal speech, I recommend looking up that work.
When Darcey swears, he does so in rogue speech, although when speaking normally, you wouldn't know he was a rogue. He has patterned his speech after the highborn folks he serves food to as a waiter and cook.

I might steal this! lol
(E'jusana) Ana has said some of the general curses already listed here, she's not one to curse often but I'm definitely going to make a list of some of these *jots down several curses for future use*

"Son of a Seeker", referring to the Nuhn's role in a tribe, is the hands-down favorite of all my racist-natured characters.
RE: Eorzean's swear - Mercurias - 03-09-2015
I tend to have fun with eorzean swears. Wanderer's one-eyed Bumpy staff, colder than Halone's taint in a snowstorm, Thaliak's piss, or even the more common godsdammit.
RE: Eorzean's swear - Verad - 03-09-2015
"Dune-turd" for Ul'dahn lalas.
RE: Eorzean's swear - Naunet - 03-10-2015
I am so not creative with swears and anything really out there just sounds really absurd to my ears. >_< At least one of my characters doesn't swear much if at all, but the other one may on occasion... *weeps*
