Druidic slang Language in Black Light | World Anvil

Druidic slang

Dry it! What in the lights are you thinking? That's my rotting bird, you rock!
— Druid complaining
  People think Druids are polite and never curse. Nothing could be farther from the truth, though. The fact that they sing instead of talk does not mean that Druidic doesn't have their own swear words. However, it's true that their swearing words tend to be related to nature, which people outside their communities can find hilarious, especially when they try to translate them to other languages.  

List

The following table lists ten terms, translated into English from Druidic, with their meaning.
Druidic Meaning
Dry it! Expresses big, usually sudden, discomfort.
Rotting It gives emphasis to the modified noun and to the sentence in general.
