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”
love this!
Ooh!
Sark - rude name for offworlder
Ctel - shed scale (insult)
