Talk:Oaths, idioms, and colloquialisms

I wasn't quite sure what to do these oaths that weren't clearly linked to any particular deity and were more specific than general exclamations, but I felt they should be reported somewhere (if only for the oddity of the sainted dog). So, I came up with this as a list of phrases, oaths, etc. Let me know what you think.

The oaths should be more specific than generic exclamations like "By the gods!" and curses of devils and such.

I like to think the church of Ilmater sainted a dog at one stage. :) — BadCatMan (talk) 09:06, July 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmmm...
 * What about calling the page "Idioms of the Realms" or the like.

 * "Idioms" might be a bit too specific, to things that are not idioms, while "of the Realms" suggests a title of an article somewhere, to me. — BadCatMan (talk) 07:30, July 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * How about "Idioms, expressions, and colloquialisms"? &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 11:59, July 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm ok with that idea. ~ Lhynard (talk) 01:34, October 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Alright. I tweaked it to "Oaths, idioms, and colloquialisms". "Expression" seemed to general; "Oaths" sounds a bit older and suits what's currently on the page. — BadCatMan (talk) 03:47, October 13, 2015 (UTC)

Forgotten Realms Style Guide - potentially useful resource
The Style Guide resources pack by WotC on DMsGuild contains a Forgotten Realms Style Guide, which includes a list of Forgotten Realms terms starting on p. 25. (An older version of the document can be found here on adventurersleague.org.) The list includes quite a few idioms/expressions, so it may be a useful resource for citing and adding entries to this page. (There are also a few in the "D&D Style Guide" document that is separate from that one, but I'm not sure if the expressions there are the same as in the FR Style Guide.)
