WoT curses

[Songstress]

"Summer ham" LOL. Always wondered why that was supposed to be an insult in Randland.

 

My favorite part about this one is Aviendha's description of Lan's reaction to it. No clue what it means, but it makes me laugh.

have you ever subsituded the actual "curses" with the words Rj used on his books?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i believe the pit of doom would be analagous to hell. i don't think any of the curses reference a heaven.

Mothers milk in a cup = too ugly to breast feed?

 

Maybe a creampie?

Lol.. nah I don´t think that was what Jordan had in mind

[Din]

My best guess on the Mother's Milk thing is that it's something to do with the fact that usually breast-feeding doesn't involve cups. Maybe there's something 'unnatural' about the situations it suggests. For instance, a child old enough to drink from a cup (holding it himself) is usually past old enough to be weaned.

[FarShainMael]

Of course, it could be a 'D' cup....

 

..I'll get my coat

 

PS: I think there's a Spanish curse related to this, but my Spanish is next to non-existent.

Maybe a kids too ugly to breast feed so the mom puts it in a cup. Ultimate disownage!!!!lol

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

i get a totally different image on this one, but the code of conduct prevents me from explaining it.

[yoniy0]

Whisper it in my ear. I won't tell Luckers, promise

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

or maybe he just heard of one of those poor schmoes who put the wrong milk in their coffee. yep, i'm sure that's it

lol reminds me bout a time when a pregnant friend of mine threatened to come to my place and put her own milk in replacement of all the milk in my house cause i was teasing her about the limitations of being pregnant

[yoniy0]

cindy, I wouldn't have, but perhaps that's because I still don't get it. Either I'm being really dense, or it's some kind of a language barrier. Never mind, though. I don't want to offend your sensibilities

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it's a clean mind barrier, lor' bless you.

 

it's an exceptionally icky interpretation, and i'm sure it's not what RJ meant. unless he went to high school in a bad neighborhood.

[yoniy0]

He did have a mind for profanities, though. I'm still not sure I get that thing about the nine-horse carriage. Plus there's that thing about maps that I'm blocking...

 

Okay, I'll stop now.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

it's a 9 horse hitch, and you should visit the 13th depository where they explain things better, and claim that one wasn't actually dirty and yet tell you how it could be.

 

the map thing is exactly what it appears to be.

One of the things about the "mother's milk in a cup" curse is that even when the 'in a cup' part is dropped off, it's still considered taboo.

This one takes the cake for me!! What the...? It makes me laugh but at the same time, does my head in trying to figure out how 'bloody buttered onions' could ever be a curse!

[caemlyn-native]

Vampire curse? Vampires only eat blood and onion is a close cousin to garlic.
