Aphorisms and Anachronisms

This is a brainstorming page for listing things which we might say in ordinary English which would be slightly out of place in the FaerieMUD world. Allusions to current events, common sayings which mention high-tech items. You can also list alternatives which might be culturally appropriate in FaerieMUD. Some may be more aphoristic than anachronistic, but still may be appropriate for culturally-based variants.

• "That's water over the dam."
  • "That's water under the bridge."
  • "That cat's already in the pixies."
• "The boy who cried 'Wolf'"
  • "The girl who cried 'Goblin'"
  • "The dwarf who cried 'Cave-in'"
  • "The entling who cried 'Fire'"
