[Steppes] Insults and curses-fun new thread

[Elaine]

I was thinking how fun it would be if our fighters could use ancient  
curses and insults on the battlefield. Wonder how many are out there  
that we could use as another embellishment?

Imagine someone yelling the insult that one of the courtiers  
whispered about El Cid---that he was a "son of a miller." Millers  
were considered thieves for supposedly  skimming a little something  
for themselves from another's grain that the miller was to make into  
flour . They were also accused of cheating their patrons in business  
transactions. (Learned from a documentary this morning on El Cid)

Imagine a book curse being used in a different setting:
"May you be frizzled in a pan!"

Anyone else have a favorite? Would the fighters actually use these to  
taunt their opponents?
