"Shenanigans" is one of our favourite words at work. We get up to a lot of shenanigans.

During our lunch breaks, of course. Although it'd be nice to get paid for getting up to shenanigans.


2025-05-24 Rerun commentary: I wonder how many words are in the dwarven language's vocabulary.

Of course, since it's my fantasy world, I can make the answer whatever I want. Maybe it's a very limited language, with expressions useful for mining, fighting, and carousing, and not much else.

Or... maybe it's full of nuance and subtlety, with dozens of near-synonyms for each concept, each with slightly different connotations and applications, and grand works of poetic literature that encompass the entire dwarven worldview and its unique relationship to the cosmos.

...

Naaah.
