I invented two new verbs this week. The first is soulmate, and the second is Alistair.
Let me explain.
To soulmate is to claim someone as your one and only, forever and ever. It's the non-Na'vi version of I see you: we'll use it as I soulmate you. Or you could say stuff like "oh yeah, he soulmated her real good and now they're in Vegas tying the knot at the Church of Elvis." Or "once they were soulmated, there was no further need for soulbonding. She loved Sephiroth with every fiber of her being... and his." This being the internet age and all, it can be abbreviated as *soulmates* for convenience in chat rooms.
Now on to Alistair.

(You can also see him in this post's icon, looking mortified as usual.)
Pay particular attention to the hair; it's relevant. For someone from ancient dark fantasy times where dragons run amuck and swooping is an unhappy occurrence, he sure has that modern bro-cut, doesn't he? with the front sticking straight up? That is the absolute visual description of to Alistair. It can be used in the following way: "I need to go Alistair my hair," or "wow, that hair stylist really Alistaired you. Are you going to wash that gel out?"
These are my helpful additions to the English language for the day. As you were.
(P.S. Anyone know what happened to

(By the way, have I thanked you for getting me into this game? Because I really should have ♥!)

Date: 2010-08-26 02:22 pm (UTC)My Dalish was pretty snooty with people, particularly humans, but my Dwarven noble is probably going to be the one that I end up playing as totally cutthroat. She has the background and origin to make it make a whole lot of sense. In the origin you can even have her (well, you can do it regardless of gender) go around with Gorim and make people talk to her through him rather than address her directly. It's hilarious.

(Also, I think the new "psst, Rolex?" should be "psst, backpack?")
