Came in here expecting N'wah.


I was not disappointed.



Also, I obviously have to kill more dunmers since I've played for ~75 hours and haven't heard it yet.

I've always loved the Urban Dictionary for this word:

N'wah. Noun
-He who is about to search my corpse for valuables

Since I haven't played Oblivion/Morrowind(Shame on me) My favourite Skyrim word is definitely "Lollygaggin'"

It basically means "a person who is not a Dark Elf." Among Dunmer it's offensive, but for anybody else, it's a compliment.
"You're not a Dark Elf!"
"Why thank you. I wouldn't be able to stand being one of those filthy overgrown Smurfs."
"Agreed. Good day."

I dont hear that very often.

But I swear, if I hear "You will make a fine rug cat!" one more time, I will kill everyone nearby, purchase a necromancy spell, and raise them just to kill them again :swear:

I am almost prepared to swear that one of those Dunmer called me a s'wit. Her death was long and unnecessarily painful.

It's not unique to Skyrim, for the record, it's a term for loitering or wasting time. I think my favourite Morrowind word was "fetcher": not much in itself, but always spoken in a nicely contemptuous manner!

Lollygagging isn't a TES word. It's an actual word that many people use every day. Especially old ones who smell of refried beans and cabbage.

I was pretty pumped when Jenassa (follower) started addressing my Dunmer PC as "Sera".

Seriously, that's pretty awesome.
I haven't heard heard N'wah either, but knowing these are there now, it just warms my heart with memories of Morrowind,
