Hold Your Hippogriffs | comment |
The author uses a popular and/or modern phrase in a work of Speculative Fiction, and adjusts it to the setting by replacing certain concepts with their more-or-less appropriate counterparts. Works as a sort of Shout-Out to make the reader/viewer more at home in the world, while at the same time highlighting the difference; it can also be used to get in some cursing. Can backfire if the adjustment comes off as too arbitrary (e.g., if the proverb refers to concepts that should exist in the speculative setting as well). At times these are specific to an exact scene, too. The replacement concepts can be tailored to characters and current action, rather than being a common phrase of its own. A cop with an antagonistic relationship to his Imperial liaison can sardonically say the liaison's investigation team got past security like X-Wings through a Death Star. In this way it can overlap with Remember When You Blew Up a Sun?, though it can refer to past moments anywhere on the spectrum of awesome and suck. Related to Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp" and Future Slang in as much as they're all about creating immersion through language use. The difference is that Hold Your Hippogriffs is, for one, not about words but phrases; for another, Hold Your Hippogriffs doesn't always create new words, although it can. It's also related to Flintstone Theming, but with fewer puns. Supertrope of Oh, My Gods!. Compare Space "X", a lazier version where "Space" (or another relevant series concept like "Wizard") is just put in phrases to make sure you know a Space X is different, and [Popular Saying], But... which also alters common sayings, but to create humor instead. Not related to Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff". The inverse of this, when a regular phrase from present-day Earth is used illogically in a speculative setting, is Orphaned Etymology. It should be noted that many, but not all those following examples, mostly apply for their original language, as it's very difficult to pull this off in foreign translations, especially when dealing with complex idioms without equivalents in the target language. |

Alexander manages to naturally do this, replacing phrases like "By God!" with "By Zeus!" or "In the name of the Gods!" instead of the singular, and other such things using ancient Greek-era things in place of more modern phrases and outbursts. A few times, it tends to get too clunky and usual, with things like "By Athena's Justice, this girl has spirit" that tend to be less artificial and more sticking out like a sore thumb.note The actual pagan Greeks sometimes used the singular "God" to mean something like "the divine" and a very few (mostly philosophers) were even monotheist. | |

Dwarven curses in the Dragon Age setting include "Go take a long breathwalk out of a short shaftpier". The saying most likely refers to the breathing of lyrium, the setting's Toxic Phlebotinum, in the mines. For mortals, breathing lyrium dust can, even in the best of circumstances, reduce you to a gibbering idiot, at worst, transformation into untold horrors. They also use "Nug-humping" where a modern person would probably use "Motherfucking." In addition, there's the phrase "by the maker", as well as a few references to Andraste throughout both games. |

Tales of Monkey Island has got LOADS of them, though a few examples are: "Davey J. Nipperkin doesn't go handing over his secret sources to every Tom, Dick, and Guybrush Harry that washes ashore!" "Anyone up for a quick game of Five Card Draw-and-Quarter? Draw? Follow the Monkey? Queen? Mêlée Texas Hold 'Em?" "The Club has a strict 'No Feet, Shoes, No Service' clause." "Talk to the hand, sicko, 'cause the pirate face ain't listenin'!" "Accidentally, my dorsal fin! ass!" "Does someone have a cannon gun to your head?" "...but that guy is cannon trigger-happy!" "Just my two pieces of eight, cents, sir." "Blowholes Heavens to Betsy, could it be?" "Hold onto your pantalones! pants!" "Your honor, pirates and wenches ladies and gentlemen of the gallery... jury..." "...he seemed to think I could make a pretty piece of eight penny off of your untimely execution..." "Time is grog, money, Captain." "Malevolence Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Guybrush Threepwood." "Tore through here like a cat bat outta hell, off into the jungle." "Mo' money, mo ability to solve puzzles. problems." "That witch is nothing but trouble with a capital T, and that rhymes with V, P, and that stands for Voodoo. pool." |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Daruk, Champion of the Gorons, often uses rock and mountain themes in his speech, being a denizen of Death Mountain with the rest of his people. For instance, in Link's memory of him testing out Vah Rudania, he makes a comment that Zelda "can't quite see the rangeforest for the peakstrees". | |

The Redwall books love these, as well as creative insults, the best being "If brains were bread you'd have starved to death before you were born!": Some examples include "the leaf pot calling the grass green kettle black" and "I'll bet you an apple to an acorn" (the equivalent of "dollars to donuts"). "If wishes were fishes, there'd be no room in the river for water. horses, beggars would ride." "There's more than one way of frying a frog. skinning a cat." Weird, you'd think Ferahgo would love to talk about skinning things... |

Isabella says she won't "look a gift drake in the mouth".spoilerIronically, in the fifth book a Draconean tries to look in her mouth. Audrey speaks of "putting the tail cart ahead of the dragonhorse". |

In the Honor Harrington novels, characters from planets other than Earth (most of the cast), typically substitute native fauna into their metaphors, such as "We've got the hexapumanote tiger by the tail" or "If you had the sense God gave a near-turkey". A few technological metaphors show up - "adding hydrogennote gasoline to the fire". | |

In the Doctor Who Expanded Universe novel Harvest of Time, the Master says "SkaroRome wasn't destroyedbuilt in a day". The BBC Books series, in Endgame, has one of the villains ask the semi-amnesiac Eighth Doctor how he feels about his current allies, the Cambridge spies, two of whom are having sex at the time. The Doctor's response is that he doesn't mind, "as long as they don't do it in the swampstreet and frighten the Drashigshorses". |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony 'n Friends: In "The Magic Coins, Part 3", when Megan starts dictating terms to the guy holding everyone over a deep pit and the ponies start wondering if she's gone nuts, Heart Throb asks her if she's slipped her bridle. In "Fugitive Flowers, Part 1", when they see the flowerbed Posey prepared for them, a florie comments that with it "we'd be back on our rootsfeet in no time!" My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Get your muzzle nose out of those books." "You little foal! fool!" "What the hay? hell/heck?" It's also a common Real-Life substitute. "Every/Any/Some/Nopony body/one" is quite possibly the most commonly used substitution in the show. Griffons and hippogriffs tend to use "anygriff" and "evergriff" instead. Starting in season eight, words such as "everycreature" are used, largely in reference to the Young Six. "Old pony's/mare's wives' tale." "Goody fourtwo-shoes." "Well, well, well, it seems we have some neeeigh-sayers nay-sayers in the audience!" "It's time to pony man up and confront Zecora!" "Pony up" is also Real-Life slang for "pay up," which could hilariously change the line's meaning. "Fillies and gentlecolts Ladies and gentlemen." "Nopony else gives a flying featherfuck!" "Who in the hoofhell/heck is that?" The UK trailers have "lend a helping hoofhand". "You... get down here... this instant... young... colt!man!" "Well, wallop my withers." "WingsFeet, don't fail me now!" "What in Equestriaon Earth is going on in here?" "Gabby Gums is my bread and butter, and I'm not gonna let you goody-two-horseshoesgoody-two-shoes take that away from me!" "You're buckingbeating a dead... treehorse". "Hold on to your hooveshats!" Several reference Princess Celestia, Equestria's Immortal Ruler, such as "as CelestiaGod is my witness..." and "sweet CelestiaJesus!" These get lampshaded in "Celestial Advice" when Twilight, panicking over all of the trouble Starlight could get into after graduating, exclaims "I can't just send her off to Celestia-knows-where!" and then blushes as Celestia remarks that she didn't know she was an expression. In "Flutter Blutter", Fluttershy expresses frustration at how her parents let her brother Zephyr "trot" all over them. In My Little Pony: Best Gift Ever, when Pinkie arrives at the cottage where the Gift Givers — a trio of oracular reindeer — live, the elderly doe who greets her crankily exclaims "By Blitzen's beard! It took you long enough!" "I need to use the little fillies'girls' room." "Cross my heart and hope to flydie, stick a cupcakeneedle in my eye." In My Little Pony: Make Your Mark, ponies (especially Pipp) often say, "Oh my hoofnessgoodness!" |

Dragaera: In Issola, Lady Teldra makes a reference to Vlad engaging in "gray humor". This is the equivalent of what we would call "black humor"—the difference is that in the series, black is the color of magic and gray is the color of death. They also have "how many X does it take to sharpen a sword?" instead of Light Bulb Jokes. |

In the Discworld books, most of the examples of this trope are simply their setting-appropriate equivalents. E.G.: "...guaranteed to have fallen off the back of an oxcart. a lorry" (Guards! Guards!) "He's going to go totally Librarian poo. apeshit." (The Fifth Elephant and The Truth) "...as the high priest bishop said to the vestal virgin. actress." (Witches Abroad) "Crysophrase, he not give a coprolith shit about that stuff" (Men at Arms) and "I'm in deep copro, shit, right?" (Thud!). (Trolls are living rock, and a coprolith is fossilised animal dung.) "Been there, done that, bought the doublet. T-shirt." (The Fifth Elephant) Men at Arms has "...some Watchman blundering around upsetting things, like a loose ... a loose siege catapult. cannon."; "...up the Ankh shit creek without a paddle"; "Does a dragon explode bear shit in the woods?" (although the original version is also in use); and "Like a fish needs a ... a thing that doesn't work underwater a bicycle, sir." "Don't come the raw trilobite prawn with me." (Moving Pictures; from a rock-eating troll) "When the midden shit hits the windmill. fan." (Thief of Time and The Fifth Elephant) "How many trolls does it take to change a lamp wick? light bulb?" (Sourcery) A weird one that started out as a Nanny Ogg malapropism in Carpe Jugulum, and then somehow became the accepted version of the phrase in later books is: "The leopard does not change his shorts." In Unseen Academicals, this phrase's complete meaninglessness gets lampshaded. Another common mangled saying is "the worm is on the other boot", a mash-up of "the worm has turned" and "the boot is on the other foot". The tendency of Honest Johns in UK media to call everyone "squire" (CMOT Dibbler does this) gets extended to other Discworld cultures, with a camel merchant who calls Teppic "emir" in Pyramids, and Disembowel-Meself-Honorably calling Rincewind "shogun" in Interesting Times. Klatch's role as the "generically foreign" country to Morporkians means we get "Excuse my Klatchian French" and "That isn't KlatchianScotch mist, lad" (both by Ridcully in Soul Music). A few aversions are lampshaded early on, when he notes that the use of the phrase "gypsies" is anomalous, given that there is no such thing as Egypt, but some words of place-name origin need to be kept for coherency's sake, so he's not calling them Djelibabies, as technically appropriate as that would be. "This is a hell of a way to spend Hogswatch! Christmas!" (Hogfather) "Now we're cooking with charcoal! gas!" (Interesting Times and others) Trolls refer to "legends from the sunset dawn of time." Either because they're nocturnal (according to The Light Fantastic), or because they think we go through time backwards (according to Thud!, based on a line in Reaper Man). "Evil Emperor. Evil Empire. It did what it said on the iron maiden tin." (Unseen Academicals) Also in UA, a dwarf doesn't think much of moonsilver, but says micromail is a "different pocketful of ratskettle of fish entirely". "Couldn't expect to get away Feegle scot free" (Snuff) There's more than one way of choking a dangdang cat than stuffing it with pling cream." (Thief of Time) (dangdangs and pling, if you're wondering, are never mentioned in any other context.) In a discussion on alt.fan.pratchett., Terry Pratchett said that building the clacks network was "not dragon wizardry rocket science." (See The Last Hero for why they're the same thing.) In Raising Steam a dwarf says the grags can "stick it where the sun shines too muchdoesn't shine". An elder dwarf describes another younger dwarf as "still wet behind the helmetears". "It's gone wahooniepear-shaped." (Various books) "The real Mac FeegleMcCoy." (Nanny Ogg's Cookbook) In Feet of Clay, the Ankh-Morpork nobility know which side of their biscuitbread is spread with patebuttered. Ancient Ephebians (i.e. Greeks) in Eric say "You play discusball with me, and I'll play discusball with you." |

Trolls refer to "legends from the sunset dawn of time." Either because they're nocturnal (according to The Light Fantastic), or because they think we go through time backwards (according to Thud!, based on a line in Reaper Man). | |

Karkat explaining a troll romance novel "THEIR DYNAMIC IS THE GRUBLOAF AND TUBER PASTEbread and butter OF THE OVERALL ARC."

A similar but less arbitrary example from one of the Young Jedi Knights books: Lando says that a certain diamond drill can cut through durasteel just as easily as a laser can cut through Sullustan jam.

Last Chance in Xollywood: A variant. The text always uses phrases like "ocular organs" and "appendages", for example, in place of "eyes" and "hands", but it's justified since all the playable characters are alien beings. Also inverted since they sometimes use human expressions but don't really know what they mean: one character says "The grass is greener", and the other will say "What is grass?". | |

(Ferengi) "Played me like a Syn Lara. violin." (Trill) "The Bloodwing's lion's share", and "like h'vart cats in an alley." (Both Romulan) "The pin straw that broke the zipthar’s wing camel's back".(Human colonists on Deneva) "The sauce icing on the slugsteak cake (Ferengi) "Nervous as a tiku in a kava reap" (Bajoran) One that's almost the same: "Plenty of other Suckerfish in the River". "If Ice Bores kill your Ailicorne, make Ailicorne steaks". (Andorian). There are also the Andorian axioms "Absence makes the heart forget" and "What goes around comes around...but with a sharper knife". The Ferengi morality tale of "The Boy Who Cried Audit" "Like Honge on fresh meat" (Cardassian). Also the Cardassian saying "the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy, but may prove useful". "Sap and fog", for when Nasats are being dismissive. "Screw with the Mugato, you're getting the horn". "In a Tribble's eye!" (Which didn't need to be said, because McCoy uses the phrase "In a pig's eye!" in the original series). |

The Owl House: Instead of swearing on God or Jesus, the denizens of the Boiling Isles swear on the Titan (i.e. "for Titan's sake" or "oh (my) Titan"). The reveal that King is a baby Titan causes Lilith to freak out over the fact that she's been taking his name in vain. In "Clouds on the Horizon", Odalia brags to Kikimora that her Abomatron has "700 snorsepowerhorsepower". A snorse, of course, being a snake-horse. |

Both Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra have multiple references to the Mix-and-Match Critters that inhabit their world that match this trope perfectly. "He's not a one-trick poodle-pony." "That weasel-snake!" Aang is such a pacifist, he even helps "the spider-fly stuck in its own web." At one point in Korra, Mako advises his brother Bolin to handle a breakup quickly, "like pulling off a leechbandage." While this was a bit of Self-Deprecation about how Mako didn't do just that in his own breakup last season, it wound up being a poor choice of words on the creators' part as they had to reassure viewers that Mako was not in fact calling his ex-girlfriend a leech. Prince Wu answers an obvious question with "Does a platypus-bearbear poop in the woods?", though he cuts himself off before he finishes it. The finale combined this trope with Varrick's catchphrase during Varrick and Zhu Le's wedding: "You may now do the thingkiss the bride." |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: "Is Linebeck shaking over there?! He's such a cucco chicken!" One of the CDi games has "I'm so hungry, I could eat an octorok a horse!" The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Daruk, Champion of the Gorons, often uses rock and mountain themes in his speech, being a denizen of Death Mountain with the rest of his people. For instance, in Link's memory of him testing out Vah Rudania, he makes a comment that Zelda "can't quite see the rangeforest for the peakstrees". |

Neptune's Brood The opening section, which drops the reader right in the middle of the complex interstellar economy that will get explained later, has a travel agent explain tickets to a certain planet are no longer available for love nor favoursmoney. The captain of the Space Pirates (who are actually space privateers, and are actually actually very proactive freelance insurance underwriters) explains that they're a necessary part of the economy, so governments turn a damaged photoreceptorblind eye to them. It's noted that if the ruler of a posthuman oceanic colony suppresses civil liberties too much, her subjects will simply vote with their finsfeet. |

Mass Effect: Mass Effect 2 features an advertisement for a movie about "Blasto, the first hanar Spectre", whose trademark phrases are "This one has no time for your solid waste excretions" and "Enkindle THIS!" Mass Effect 3 features many excerpts from the movie, the humor of which often stems from this trope. When you first meet Legion, Tali mentions that a single geth would have no more intelligence than a wild varren. It makes more sense since varren are basically Space Dogs, and 99% of the characters, humans included, probably never saw a real life dog before. Quarians in general use the term "Keelah" in place of "God" note though literally it's probably closer to "ancestors," given what the codex says about quarian religion., and "Keelah se'lai" is said at the end of certain discussions, including the hearing in front of the admiralty board. Replace it with "God be with you", and it's a perfect fit. Mass Effect 3 reveals it to effectively mean "The homeworld which I shall one day see.", which is similar, given how mythical their homeworld is to the Quarians by this point. Similar to the above, asari usually say "By the goddess!", while turians use "Spirits!" Inverted early on, at one point Vega brings up a more traditional "shooting fish in a barrel", which is a completely alien concept to Garrus. And most people would describe someone ballsy as having "a quad", as the krogan have four testicles. Mordin Solus, your salarian teammate in 2, thinks his former CO was "a bit of a cloaca". Salarians are amphibians, wherein the cloaca is both anal and reproductive orifice, so he's basically calling him an asshole and a dick. Romancing Garrus will have him tell you at one point that your outfit "has my mandibles jaw on the floor." Also averted in the case of figures of speech involving bullets. Mass Effect: Andromeda has "does a pyjak scratch its butt?" and "roast your quads over a low fire". A quest involving salarians has one claiming another could be pulling information out of his cloaca. |

There's no such thing as a "poker face." Instead, you'd have a "Sabacc face." And "dejarik" (the game Chewie and R2 play in A New Hope) is substituted for chess. | |

From Life, the Universe and Everything: "Wouldn't stand a whelk'ssnowball's chance in a supernova hell." Much to Arthur Dent's confusion. Ford, who has picked up Earth idioms but does not share Arthur's fondness for tea, thinks he wouldn't have got into the Krikketers' ship for all the rice wine in China. |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 makes even greater use of this than previous games: Characters use phrases like "curiousity killed the ferroxcat", "wild medoozgoose", or "pause your poniosnote hold your horses." The game takes place in a setting where the whole cast was grown in People Jars to live their whole lives as soldiers and therefore have no concepts of sexual reproduction, religion, or family. As such, all swearing originating from those concepts is replaced with language referring to in-universe elements. "Fuck" is replaced by "snuff" as the general all-purpose profanity note In-Universe, it derives from the cast's lifespan being tied to devices called "flame clocks", hence "snuff" functions as a reference to murder or death, insults like "son of a bitch" or "bastard" are replaced by "mudder"note The lowest ranking on military hierarchy is "dirt", hence "mud" as an insult, and religious swearing and oaths refer to the Queens of the two nations at warnote in-universe propaganda claims that the Queens are the ones who give life to the soldiers in the first place, making them the closest thing to gods that the characters would be aware of.. |

Pokémon: As part of the series' Earth Drift, characters tend to substitute animal names with their Pokémon equivalents. Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Well, I'll be an Aipom'smonkey's uncle! I was being such a scaredy-Delcattycat... Pokémon Sword and Shield has more of these than previous games. One example is Sonia mentioning the phrase "Nickit in wooloo's clothingwolf in sheep's clothing". Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Once you learn how to ride on Koraidon/Miraidon, Nemona tells you that "Paldea's your Cloysterthe world is your oyster". Hassel says "All paths lead to the Great Crater of Paldeaall roads lead to Rome, as they say" to the player after they get the Gym Badge in Artazon. |

Outsider: The Loroi associated with the mostly-ocean world Taben occasionally use some culturally-specific terms in their spoken Trade to express negative ideas. When Nova's cruiser is destroyed, Stillstorm says "Confirm that Winter Tide has foundered", a term which in English can mean "to break" or "to sink". Later, Talon's Cluster F-Bomb toward Clearbrook's comms officer ends with "Shred this tilted field!" and Spiral softly exclaims "Low tide!" when Jardin mentions consuming animal milk. | |

Most adaptations of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have the turtles use the word "shell" where a swear word would usually be: "What the shellhell are these things?" The 2003 series did this fairly often. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy X: Wakka instructs Tidus over the course of the game to hold his chocobos, flightless birds used as horse equivalents. The Chocoboy of Final Fantasy VIII instructs Squall to do the same. There's also Wakka's "son of a Shoopuf!" and another character's "...my shoopuf!" Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings: At one point, Fran is being accosted by a group of sky pirates, including a "foul-mouthed moogle" who lets out an apparently profanity-laden sentence ending with "and your chocobo too!" Final Fantasy XIII: In Nautilus, there's a boy who asks his parent to give him a "chocoback ride." Final Fantasy Type-0 has a random NPC trainee who comments that "Confidence is exactly what I'm lacking. I go in thinking I can do it, but when push comes to shove, I always chocobo out..." Final Fantasy Brave Exvius: "Hold your chocobos" gets used a couple times. Final Fantasy XIV uses coeurl (somewhat catlike creatures with long tentacle-like whiskers) in place of cat, like "Coeurl o' Nine Tails", and a quest called "When the Coeurl's Away". |

Because there are several gods in Unsounded of relatively equal importance, people usually say "gods" instead of "god," i.e. "oh gods" or "godsdamned." Though earlier comics sometimes use the singular form. Oddly, "hell" is used as an expletive even though no one seems to believe in such a place. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "Get your muzzle nose out of those books." "You little foal! fool!" "What the hay? hell/heck?" It's also a common Real-Life substitute. "Every/Any/Some/Nopony body/one" is quite possibly the most commonly used substitution in the show. Griffons and hippogriffs tend to use "anygriff" and "evergriff" instead. Starting in season eight, words such as "everycreature" are used, largely in reference to the Young Six. "Old pony's/mare's wives' tale." "Goody fourtwo-shoes." "Well, well, well, it seems we have some neeeigh-sayers nay-sayers in the audience!" "It's time to pony man up and confront Zecora!" "Pony up" is also Real-Life slang for "pay up," which could hilariously change the line's meaning. "Fillies and gentlecolts Ladies and gentlemen." "Nopony else gives a flying featherfuck!" "Who in the hoofhell/heck is that?" The UK trailers have "lend a helping hoofhand". "You... get down here... this instant... young... colt!man!" "Well, wallop my withers." "WingsFeet, don't fail me now!" "What in Equestriaon Earth is going on in here?" "Gabby Gums is my bread and butter, and I'm not gonna let you goody-two-horseshoesgoody-two-shoes take that away from me!" "You're buckingbeating a dead... treehorse". "Hold on to your hooveshats!" Several reference Princess Celestia, Equestria's Immortal Ruler, such as "as CelestiaGod is my witness..." and "sweet CelestiaJesus!" These get lampshaded in "Celestial Advice" when Twilight, panicking over all of the trouble Starlight could get into after graduating, exclaims "I can't just send her off to Celestia-knows-where!" and then blushes as Celestia remarks that she didn't know she was an expression. In "Flutter Blutter", Fluttershy expresses frustration at how her parents let her brother Zephyr "trot" all over them. In My Little Pony: Best Gift Ever, when Pinkie arrives at the cottage where the Gift Givers — a trio of oracular reindeer — live, the elderly doe who greets her crankily exclaims "By Blitzen's beard! It took you long enough!" "I need to use the little fillies'girls' room." "Cross my heart and hope to flydie, stick a cupcakeneedle in my eye." |

Doctor Who: Not uncommonly, Time Lords — a two-hearted race — use allegorical phrases related to the heart, but with "hearts" instead. "Heartsbeat", "broke my hearts", "I haven't the hearts", etc. "Robot" has the Doctor complain that "it's a free cosmos country" as well as refer to his "heartsbeat". "The Face of Evil": The Doctor's unimpressed by a broken communicator — "Dead as a Dalek doorknocker". "The Unquiet Dead": Charles Dickens: "What the Shakespeare? dickens?". Oddly enough, the phrase "what the dickens" actually appears in Shakespeare's writing and has nothing to do with the author Dickens at all ("the dickens" = "the Devil"), but it would be rather odd-sounding for Charles Dickens to say "what the dickens". Referenced two seasons later when Shakespeare says "What the Chaucer?" "The Name of the Doctor": After the Doctor is conned by Clara's young charges, he mutters "Why those little... Daleksmonsters!" Steven Moffat once proposed that a good title for a Paternoster Gang spin-off would be Tipping the Scales - referring not to the usual meaning of that phrase, but a Silurian equivalent of Tipping the Velvet. |

In Asterix, typical French curses involving God are transformed into those which involve Roman and Gaulish deities. There's also phrases like "a big girl's tunica blouse", a sign which tells people to "wipe their caligae boots", "in their good tablets"... | |

Survivor Dogs: "Paw" gets used as an equivalent of "hand"/"foot" in sayings. For example, "on one pawhand". "Hurry up, or we'll be here until the Moon-Dog goes to sleepthe sun comes up." "The foxes could go to the Earth-DogHell as far as he was concerned (...)" "They are hunting us, Lucky, and unless we keep on our paw-tipstoes and moving, they will track us down." "I've got a good feeling in my furbones today." "Watch your muzzlemouth, Moon." "We should make a camp for no-suntonight." |

In Safehold, "Kill the wyverngoose that fetchedlaid the golden rabbitegg." Also, "between the doomwhaleDevil and the deep blue sea." They also curse by Shan-Wei and put "Shan-Wei" instead of "Devil", as she's the local Satan figure, ("Go to Shan Wei's Hell Hell!") and use Langhorne (greatest of the archangels) instead of God ("LanghorneGod bless you" or "For Langhorne'sGod's sake!"). |

Guardians of Ga'Hoole does this a few times: Most common is the use of "gizzard" in place of things like "know in my heart" or "bad feeling in my gut". "Are you yoinkscrazy"? "Racdrops" is a common swear, short for "raccoon droppings". "Glaux" is used in place of "God" i.e. "Great Glaux!". The owls say "good light" instead of "good night". |

Trails Series: In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel IV, if you talk with Ashleigh during the Eventide segment, she comments that asking her to rent out Mishelam for a send-off party instead of the usual payment is "No woolskin off my Pomback." (A Pom is a Mascot Mook seen throughout the franchise the game comes from, and is among other things the subject of a plush toy, as well as a game called "Pom Pom Party.") In The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie, you can speak with a professor, Carton, and his student, Myria, Myria being upset because she thought an exam was going to be delayed because of classes canceled during the war.

"You're crow-food! dead meat!" "Cloudtail's mew bark is worse than his scratch. bite." "We shall kill two prey birds with one blow, stone, as it were." "Who made dirt pissed in his fresh-kill Cheerios?" "You look as if you've lost a rabbit pound and found a shrew penny." "No use wailing crying over lost prey spilled milk." "Leopardfur can go chase her own tail go fuck herself." (A similar expression, "Bluestar can go eat snails!" is also seen.) "Great Star Clan!" Holy crap! "If I catch you on my territory, you'll wish you'll never been kittedborn." "You're two sides of the same leafcoin." "Have you got bees in your brainbats in the belfry?" "We're living in a den of twigshouse of cards." "Don't be such a smart-earsass." "We're wasting moonlighttime." "That goody-four-paws-two-shoes." "Sorry catches no prey doesn't cut it."

Dragons: Race to the Edge: The episode "Family on the Edge" has Heather say "a dragonleopard doesn't change its markingsspots" (Fishlegs feels compelled to point out that some dragons do). Later Astrid takes about "the Rumblehornelephant in the room". In an earlier episode, "Have Dragon, Will Travel", we have this exchange, using the same simile for two separate expressions: The yak-bladder reference returns in "The Wings of War part 2" when Hiccup shows that he has nearly completed building an advanced version of the Dragon Eye. |

This is actually an occasional plot-point in The Cosmere. Worldhoppers can use Connection to speak the native language of whatever world they are on, but it translates idioms literally, often causing them to sound quite ridiculous. Mistborn does this a lot with metal based sayings. For example, someone is ZincSilver-tongued because zinc Allomancers have Emotion Control powers, making them very persuasive. Take it with a pinch of coppersalt. Burning copper gives the user and everyone around them immunity to emotional Allomancy. |

The Ciaphas Cain novels have a few examples: The series is fond of the phrase "going ploin-shapedpear-shaped, a British idiom equivalent to "going very wrong"." In the first novel, Ciaphas notes that it's credits to carrotsdonuts to dollars, which means "very certain" that he and his troops will be mobilized to stop the Tau. Cain often uses "Emperor's bowels!" in place of "Holy shit!" "Flamebread" for "toast" is used by one trooper suggeting they get out before they're, well, flamebread. |
