Maybe so, but I still think they should all have to produce their birth certificates stating their origin just to prove they're legitimate fantasy material and not some sci-fi aberration.Jur wrote: The majority of orcs are law abiding, peace loving citizens of good will.

"Orc" > "Spork" > "Sporks On Planes Stop Terrorism" > "Fraud"
"Oi, mate, those tossers sure pulled an Orc. If they get pinched, they'll be in a load of Barney. A real kick to the old Jacobs, that'll be, the poor sods."

Also I am a genuine cockney (but without a cockney accent unless I put on a mockney accent) having been born within the sound of Bow Bells, so I speak with some experience in these matters. As a new born, I was taken down Covent Garden Flower Market and passed around the early morning traders at 4am in a pub (family business was floristry). This really was traditional practice and may still be today.
No one uses the word 'mate' unless you are an Aussie. 'Tossers' is rather old hat these days. 'Pinched' is something Dick van Dyke might say. 'Sod' is something my Nan used to say but it really was primarily used by women. Jacobs is accurate though. Best advice, if you say this shit in the hearing of a true cockney you are likely to get lamped.

I was disappointed at the level of foulness. I also didn't find it terribly over the top as thing at BGG had led me to expect.
I must have seen the pre-edited version. I'm glad those editing issues were the function of late nights an binge drinking rather than carelessness. There is a limit to the use of the word 'dapper' on one page. LOL
I look forward to more correspondence from the frontlines.

Barney has meant "trouble" for a long time, and only now means "argument". It also means "double shot" as I have heard in person "Can I get a Barney" as in Rubble, as in double.
I have heard as much...oh wait...there's more?Also I am a genuine cock...
Funny, the friend I have who lived 30 years in Lancaster before moving here used it continually. His mum was English, and he is English, so I'm guessing that it's regional. In any event, I've had several Kiwi and Aussie friends who use it ceaselessly, and I do as well as I think "buddy" sounds retarded.No one uses the word 'mate' unless you are an Aussie.
And?'Tossers' is rather old hat these days.
Yeah, that was a stretch.'Pinched' is something Dick van Dyke might say.
I've been told to sod off by my friend's father so many times it's ridiculous. He's a Scot though.'Sod' is something my Nan used to say but it really was primarily used by women.
We won the war. We get to revise the language as we see fit.Best advice, if you say this shit in the hearing of a true cockney you are likely to get lamped.

Wow, you thought the guy in Oceans Eleven was a good cockney accent? It is the worst I have heard since Mary Poppins. It is so bad it actually spoiled the film. It doesn't surprise me that his use of the cockney dielect is totally incorrect. Barney, BTW means fight and not trouble. The use goes back long before the bloody Flintstones!! One assumes that the people who evolve language would be the people who use it. That would be East Londoners not pathetic pretenders from Hollywood
PS Lancaster is not anywhere near London
Check your history. The Soviets won the war.
