Goobue's Arse = Horse's Ass eg. "Stop making a goobue's arse of yourself"

I'll edit this as more come to mind.

West says a lot of expletives phrases that vary such as:

"Nald'Thal's Balls"
"Oh holy holone's tears, are you serious?"
"Sufferin' Sultana"
"Great baby Byregot!"
"Jumpin Jackanape!"

She calls admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn "Admiral Stormtits"

I would think that it may make more sense to use 'coeurl' rather than Miqo'te.  Especially since you have the hard 'c' there so you still get the fun alliteration of things like 'Curiosity killed the coeurl.'

True facts - I guess someone let the coeurl out of the bag.

You could for sure refer to 'cat things' as miqo'te but I've had people icly refer to my keeper as a 'kitty' and that's p much just boardline racist - basically calling my character an 'animal'. So I mean you could totally do this but I'd be pretty aware that this is more than likely implied/casual racism than anything else. 

I do think coeurl would work a ton better - we have the kitten and the black coeurl and have seen/heard of them otherwise being kept as pets
