| Because I've noticed some people (*coughs* Dray *coughs*) have used IC sayings, and would like to have a neat little list. (This includes derogatory statements.) - Sera:
- Swimming Upriver
Implies that someone is making things difficult for themselves arbitrarily. This is most commonly said by fishermen, but is sometimes repeated by others, along with variations.
- Ventus:
- Valetudo:
- Terra:
- Ashtray
A derogatory term for Terra, particularly the scorched Terran peninsula. Generally used by Ignesians, this term implies that Terra was made to be burned, that its people are weak, and it generally diminishes the war effort.
- Shale-Surfing
A metaphor for putting oneself in harm's way. (As Dray put it: similar to "Out of the frying pan and into the fire.")
- Ignis:
- Smoke-Sucker
A derogatory term for an Ignesian.
- Unda:
- Salty Sea Slug
A derogatory term for a sailor, most commonly used by sailors. While it's not polite...no one's really offended by it.
- Glacies:
Both
North
South
- Elementalism:
- Spirit's Teeth
An expression of exasperation.
- Creationism:
