Noodle Theory: The theory that the world and its inhabitants exist as loops of string atop a one dimentional loop of string. Combat and interaction often involves the scrunching up of the involved noodle strings causing crossed points of each noodly hoop, allowing anomalies such of grasping individual teeth with the reverse of the knee and fitting the whole world inside a dwarves mouth, along with every friend of his doing the same.

Theory to be revised to Quantum Leap Spaghettio Theory

Not this again ;_;

Are you saying it shouldn't go in the dictionary?

Nope. Quite the opposite, but I mean... That thread D:

Syndrome: The blanket term used for various and uncountable effects of vicious diseases and mild irritations ranging from the military turning into mewling blobs of goo as their bones necrotise and ooze out of their nasal passages, your military become entirely numb on the outside and inside or in one anecdotal case (MINE) a dust spread syndrome created a fearsome breed of super soldiers based upon the mythical "Ghost Rider" by melting off their faces and leaving naught but a bearded, eyebally skull behind.

Blood: The stuff of life. It comes in many colours and forms from a red watery substance to black foul smelling ichors, to torrents of slimy, rotten flies. Armok, god of blood demands this be spilled in his name and often is either by accident or design.

Can be cooked into sausages, cakes or drank while cackling like a madman. Bonus points for being on fire. Bonus bonus points for having no face.

Child: The young of most sentient and some non-sentient are referred to as children, or a child. Their primary use is to socialise amongst the adults to stop them developping debilitating mental illnesses such as tantrums but more often used as a source of sadistic amusement coupled with a form of "from birth" training as emotionless killing machines, forcing them to fight domestic animals until adulthood from an early age so they evolve above the regular dwarf or die. This SHOULD be called "Project Spartan", but isn't.

At first I read the first two words and thought "yay!"
then I read the rest of the paragraph and went :(

edit: I also wanted to suggest the word "injury" for the "i" section.

There are two kinds of injuries in the world of DF.
One, the minor bruised fat, broken toe or finger injury which commonly leaves a dwarf bedridden for months or even years.
Two, the skull cracking, spine breaking, nerve severing, limb mutilating, and near total bodily destruction injury that is consistently shrugged off by dwarves as mere inconveniences the moment their doctor gives them a crutch and a few stitches

The adamantine colossus hits the Dwarf in the lower body!
*Dwarf is pushed 1 tile away*
The Dwarf hits the adamantine colossus in the left toe!
*Colossus flung to the moon*

This can either go two ways. 1: Attach a tow line and use it to ascend to the moon and play Moon Fortress
2: Someone invents Colossus Golf

Got two new ideas :D

Also, the list for words yet to be added/already is here

Addition to Noodle Theory: By accepting this theory as to how the universe works, you must also accept anything with the Flyer tag is actually a Flying Spaghetti Monster

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I have a theory. They have been known to lay the eggs in the dwarven eye with no actual detrimental effect until bodybursting. I conclude, therefore that they are a terrestrial version of this parasite, which replaces a fishes tongue with it's own body. To no ones detriment!

I just can't wait for the next update.
I'm just going to go onto the otherkin community and proclaim that I was a dorf in my past life as soon as it hits. "Dragons", "werewolves", "vampires", and especially "!!ELVES!!"will weep with jealousy.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

This dictionary is incredibly useful to confuse my friends and family with dorfspeak.
