So, I building a Hair-metal, blaxploitation themed Numerian Gnome-borne Aasimar Skald for Kingmaker, and for flavor reasons, want to have a number of made-up catch-phrases, and slang.

The crazier, the better.

Any suggestions, or advice, is welcome.


This might help

Grand Lodge

That is a good start.

I would like it to not refer to things like cars, planes, and other things that do not exist in Golarion though.


...I think that Black Dynamite (the Blaxploitation parody series by the creators of the Boondocks) already has that covered for you. They have 5 minute previews on Adult Swim's site, or you could possibly see if you can find more.

Grand Lodge

Well, I own all of the Boondocks, but was looking for things that no player/dm would ever heard of.

Completely made up stuff, that may, or may not, have Golarion flavor.


Find a webpage talking about Golarion and apply gizoogle.net

........then I vaguely feel that we need to get very, very offensive with the already questionable undertones associated with orcs and dark elves.

Grand Lodge

Whatever feels right, or wrong, if so inclined.

Avr, I think that while there are a couple of gems, the style of writing for Pathfinders tends to break Gizoogle.net. Observe here

I did like "Put ya muthaf!#+in choppers up if ya feel dis!"...but I doubt it was actually meant to reference their tusks.

Grand Lodge

Oh, and it actually need not be genre specific.

So, if you had an idea that had cockney flavor, or 20's gangster flavor, then it would be fine.

Just, something made up, and not referencing things that don't exist in the Golarion universe, like Cadillac cars.

Grand Lodge

Let's see if I can come up with some examples:

Wazamzizzle!: An exlamation of joy, and/or agreement.

Gutter Monkey: A Goblin.

Elven Tableware: Mithral, or Silver weapons.

Grand Lodge

Let me try a few others:

Underbite: Orc, or Half-Orc.

Slippers: Halflings.

Lower Beard: Female Dwarf.

Clinkers: Copper coins.

Horned Fancy: A Chelaxian.

The clones from Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series had some pretty good lines from time to time.

Huh. Never was much for me in the extended universe stuff. I will check it out.

Any ideas on your own?

Not off the top of my head, but I will post them if I come up with any.

Let's see...

Glitterboys: The Numerian robots.

Paint-jobs: Robot golems

Disco pits: (forget the proper term) Impact sites and hidden caches/dungeons of alien tech. Silver Mountain itself is "Disco hell."

Jive-tosser: spellcaster of dubious but uncertain intent.

Stone Square: Undead, or so boring their "Squareness" is set in stone.

Stone Square Hate-merchant: infectious or intelligent undead, such as shadows, ghouls, or vampires.

Nessin': Going or being incorporeal. You become "untouchable."

Trimmin' his points: being dishonest, specifically when trying to ingratiate yourself to someone, refers to cutting the corners off of a square.

Juicer: Drug addict, specifically addicted to strange fluids, though the term suffers some dilution between "juicer" and "REAL juicer."

Chrome Turkey: Cyborg

Nipple-hater: also cyborg

Three-eyes: alien

The Man: Authorities and/or the Black Sovereign himself.

Stitcher-witcher: Magical healer
