Everybody has a favourite enemy monster or two in the game. I tend to make up abusive nicknames for them...if only they could hear my taunts and abuse.

I usually call things like this.

Umber Hulk = Umber Dummy or Dumber Hulk

Githyanki = Githwanki or Gitwanki

Humans = Mudboy or Mudgirl

Orc = Cro

Slimes = Snot

What are the words you use?

I'm sorry. I did not think that it would have such bad effect on people from Hrvat. Anyway, I often say words backwards... fun=nuf. It's an old London Cockney thing that I can't get over.

Apology accepted . (It is Hrvatska, BTW)

Please do explain the Githwanki thing.

Vedran. Thanks for the language class. I thought it was Hrvatski, but that refers to "things from Croatia", not Croatia itself, correct?

Githwanki will make sense if you break it into gith + wanki. It looks like two abusive words. git = idiot and "wank"...um...can you look this up in a very comprehensive dictionary or lexicon? I don't think that I am prepared to say what it means here...
