Magic U back-to-school giveaway Day 5!

Thank Godwin It’s Friday! Today’s lesson in the Magic University back-to-school week is about SWEARING.
Magical folk at Veritas don’t swear by using the language of their oppressors (the Church) and they don’t believe in damnation. So there’s no “damn” “hell” “God” or “Jesus Christ!” in their lexicon of swear words. Instead, they tend to invoke the revered figures of their own heritage and past who include poets (Dante, Sappho, Blake) and famous witches and wizards (Circe, Merlin). Each generation of course has their favorites and some go in and out of fashion. Once in a while ancient gods or goddesses may slip in, as well (like Minerva).
Herewith, a brief “translation guide” to some of the colorful phrases you may hear magical folk say, after which we’ll have today’s quiz and the answers from yesterday!

All 5 Magic U coversMagical swear terms, translated to the mundane tongue:
Circe’s tit = oh shit/crap
Circe’s creamy left tit = holy crap
What in Dante’s Inferno…? = What the hell…?
Pigfucker = jerk
Pigfucking son of Circe = motherfucker
Pythagoras’s shit-covered cock = holy fucking shit
Merlin and Morgana’s goatfucking third cousin = Jesus H. Christ on a dildo-tipped pogo stick
There are many, many more phrases in the books…
