I find I often tend to leave people wondering what the heck I am talking about without the aid of a thesaurus, depending on what I'm talking about at the time, either a lot of technical vocabulary ends up in my speech, or it comes out with plenty of those sorts of old words the likes of which bodie speaks.

Bosh'tet was an insult in the Mass Effect games and it's only worth using in front of people who are familiar with the games.

I know a few insults in klingonese, and a bit of other klingon also.

  Has anyone mentioned "eldritch"?  It bears repeating.  Cthulhu bless H. P. Lovecraft!  :cthulhu:
