Cardassian insults

[a-stitch-in-time-and-space]

anyone know any Cardassian insults?

Not “Kardie/Spoonhead” since those are slurs, but inter-Cardassian insults

Was trying to think of any from the show or books, but my brain’s not really working atm.

Think a classic is plain old “Un-Cardassian”

Imagine there’d be a few linked to parentage, since who your family is is so important to your status within society…

hit me up if you’ve got any (don’t have to be canon)

“Bajori”- a foolish, naive person; came into use when they invaded Bajor, use faded after the end of the Dominion War.

“Traitor”- just means traitor.

“Tana”- meaning “weak” or “inferior”, depending on context and dialect; after the ethnic group/tribe/nation Tanapre, who’ve basically been constantly bullied and oppressed by all other groups for the past millennium.

“Pilhel”- means “hoarder”; dates back to the time when Cardassians shared everything with each other out of necessity; used to refer to someone who stays in one place and hoards resources; archaic but still in use.

“Eja’Yev”- “traitor of the people”

“Kani’Yev”- “traitor of the family”

“Ido’Yev”- “traitor of the state”
