That's a pretty obscure reference.

I daresay most people who would understand my criticism would catch a Cicero reference.

How the carp did you do that?

He Who Waits Behind the Walls blesses his chosen with curses unknown.

*twitch*

I admire the Latin, but please pluralise with an "a": cupra, argenta, aura. For my overly pedantic sake.

I suspect that dwarves have about as much respect for the laws of grammar as they do the laws of physics. That it's somebody else's language would make it even less of a concern.

Quousque tandem abutere, Ubiq, patientia nostra?

I cannot see how this would apply to me. My effontery is quite bridled, I assure you, nor am I mad.

I call them Quid tbh plural and singular,

Beat me to it. I also call the currency "caps".

Seeing as I have never talked about currency on the Forums, just to my mate who also plays DF, that might be a bit hard :p

Quid's the best anyway, and fyi it's a slang word for Pound, which is the British Currency, not just a random thing.

Everyone knows that, don't they? I suppose I'm probably a bit biased, but I figured even Americans knew about Quid?

[Kogan Loloklam]

Yep. Gordan Ramsay taught me the word.

[bremarv]

I usally don't use a name for the currency, like 'thats worth 5 and thats worth 20'.

The few times I do I use dwarfbuck or gp.

units are irrelevant

[Oglokoog]

I call it "money"; "that schist figurine with tons of gems slapped on it is worth 34000 money".

[Xenos]

I am a fan of referring to every unit as "Urist" (although i think of temperature as just Urists not degrees Urist.  Think of the Kelvin scale.)

[Herbiie]

Monies is best

I call them Quid tbh plural and singular,

I have One Quid.

I will give you Five Quid for that, mate*.




_{* Mate is Optional}

Spot the fellow British guy. Have you found him? YES! IT'S YOU!

& i thought I was the only one :p

Well the guy above me seemed to think it was just weird so I enlightened him

Don't see any reason why Americans would know British Slang to be honest.

prairie oysters.

they'd be a hit with all the female dwarves.

[Karnewarrior]

I call 'em Spines.

10 copper Spines to a Silver Spine, 10 Silver spines to a Gold spine.

I don't actually use that.

I like Urist as unit of measure for temperature and weight, but I prefer Moruls as a unit of distance. One Morul equals the 130 or so spaces he launched an orc with a warhammer.

"130 or so." Armok below, they've gone Imperial.
