Usuario:King of Herdaz/Curses and Phrases

This page lists curses, phrases, terms, and sayings used by people on the different worlds of the cosmere and beyond, as well as, where known, their meanings. I would eventually like to put this information on the individual world pages. Feel free to edit this page and add any more you know of.

For those who want to help: as a general rule, if there exists a page for that word/phrase in this usage (or it should exist but doesn't) then it does not belong on this list. This would not exclude things like Stormfather! since in that usage it is not referring to the stormfather himself rather it is simply referring to the common exclamation.

Being as the intention is to eventually organize these by nation as well as planet, where applicable (known and relevant) please indicate for each entry where it originates/is used.

Once there are enough of each I will divide each section into a columnized section of words and phrases without or not needing explanations and a non-columnized section of terms with definitions.
