Pure Dead Gallus

Paul Fitzpatrick: May 2024 It would appear that the Germans have a word for everything – whilst we’d say that someone is ‘reveling in another person’s misery‘, they’d simply call it schadenfreude, the literal translation being harm-joy.When we say that a person has ‘put on a bit of weight due to comfort eating’ our German cousins call it kummerspeck, which literally translated means…

As Scot I’ve never heard of bamstick but definitely bampot

I’ve only heard bamstick a few times and the first time I didn’t even know bamstick was a thing I thought it was just bam and bampot

Ok, but I just found a list of Scottish insults and I can’t get the image of Captain Levi with a thick brogue out of my head? Like, I can just picture him calling people “daft c*nts” or “ye radge wee shite,” and “chew me banger, ya bamstick fud.”

I knew it explained how they worked somewhere in the book.

A pendrek is a name for a nightstick, but the Boros ones mentioned here have a “wand mode” that is a bit more traditional magic wand the the bamstick. (They seemingly require an activation word.)

These are both excerpts from the first Ravnica book altho I’m not sure pages as the google version doesn’t seem to have them numbered? And my copy of the book is packed up at the moment from where I moved.

Tagging @jolly-ob-saint-nixilis cause of prior conversation and @maris-solstice cause I know he’ll wanna know

So I was just visiting my mother, partly because I ordered a phone and put the wrong address on autopilot and it was arriving this evening.

My stepdad went in a mood with me because...

...wait for it...

...a report on Scotland's alcohol laws and the upcoming minimum pricing legislation came on the news, and he found out he knew more about Scottish alcohol licensing and sale laws than he did. That's it. That's my crime.

Bamstick of the highest order.

[twostepstyless]

It doesn’t translate to the us 😂 but I can only imagine what it means

Bam is also the shortened version, you can also go with bampot or the lesser used bamstick. Generally means an idiot, foolish person etc There’s a nice wee lesson in the Scots language and Scottish slang for you

Planebound Profile: Kasmira

Name: Kasmira Reznikov

Nickname: Mira

Age: 75

Color identity: WB

Race: Human

Pronouns: She/her

Appearance: Kasmira is short with an average build. Her black hair is bobbed short around her pale, pierced face. While she has one green eye the other is a prosthetic made of gold.

Plane of origin: Ravnica

Magic powers: Mira has dabbled in Orzhovan magic, but it’s by no means her forte. Her most notable magic ability actually comes from her prosthetic eye. While she can’t discern what the truth is, the eye is enchanted to let her know when someone isn’t telling it.

Proficiencies: As an advokist, Kasmira usually relies on her wits and Charisma. If backed into a corner though she’s not afraid to defend herself to the best of her ability with a blade or bamstick.

Backstory: Kasmira was born to an Orzhovan nobleman of House Reznikov who had broke tradition by marrying a woman of lower and guildless standing in hopes of freshening up the bloodline. To his dismay this was for naught. Kasmira was born without one of her eyes and suffers from chronic pain.

Mira isn’t the sort to let this keep her down though. She’s worked hard to become a prestigious advokist and businesswoman although she often finds herself at odds with a family that has their own plans for her.
