Resistance to English Dictionary and Phrasebook

Just started a new Praet, picked these up in a couple of White's missions.

"the deep, dark, dim" - The Underground
two-tone - Powers Divisioner?
tattle - radio broadcast or call for help/to reveal location ("He could have gotten a tattle off at this depth")
"this box just lost its chill" - Situation heating up; said when a Vet aggroed on me.
glimpse - look at/keep eyes peeled for


"Five-alive, whipper!" when aggroed, I've got no clue other than maybe "Look alive, noob!" If whipper's short for whippersnapper, maybe slang for a low-ranking Resistance member?

I think pucker face might be an insult of some kind, as I was called a "Pucker face badger".

Going to update it in a bit, just need to get everything together.

Cole-Aid works for both, depending on context. Going to add "Don't Drink the Cole-Aid" as 'Blindly following Cole', along with "Cole-Aid" as 'Enriche'.

Thanks Price.

Do you remember the context for "Two-Tone"? Also, how does "Five-alive, whipper!" sound to everyone else?

Thinking of adding "tattle" as 'comm broadcast'. Any recommendations?

Sounds that way. I'm tempted to add it as 'Ugly'.

((Some additions I saw just now.))

scamp - get out, leave. As in, "Scamp or you'll get chomped!" (Apparently it is also used in the context of kill/die, similar to the phrase, "check out". You can check out of a hotel, or you can check out of life.)

Swiss this cheese - shoot someone

mindwash -- someone who serves/believes in Emperor Cole? (A Resistance fighter called my Loyalist this during a melee.)

wolverine -- Powers division member? (One called my Loyalist this also.)

power pellet -- ditto wolverine.

scrimslam this chompcham -- beat this guy!

((And should this be stickied?))

Here's one I didn't see when I looked through it:

Static - The Praetorian Radio Network, might be just the Resistance's.

Also, thanks for this. I've been putting off RPing my Resistance character because I didn't have a full grasp on the lingo yet. I'm still trying to find a way to get back to Praetoria from Primal Earth (I heard there was one!) but I just can't figure it out yet.

Adding:

Chompette - Female combatant

Chortle-Snortling - Laughing

Cole-Aid - Enriche

Drinking the Cole-Aid - Blindly following Cole

'Get it Polar Bear-Style Without the Syrup'- To be given a beating

Glimpse - Watch

Glitterbug - High profile person

Power Pellet - Powers Division officer

Rattleslap - Hurt

Ringy-Dingys - Alarms

Scamp - Get out/Leave; or Kill/Die, depending on context

Scrimslam this Chompcham - Beat this guy/girl

'Shine this Shamrock' - Beat someone up/Beat this person

Smashy-Smash - Security/Backup

Static - Resistance communications network

'Swiss this Cheese' - Open fire/Put holes in it

'That Reverberates Like..' - That sounds like..

The Deep, Dark, Dim - The Underground

'This Box Just Lost its Chill' - Situation is heating up

'This is All Sideways' - This is all wrong/messed up

Wolverine - Powers Division officer


Looking for Verification/Context:

Flipper - Face

'Hope for Sunshine' - Want to live

'Make Like a Shark' - Swim/Flee or Hunt/Chomp?

Mindwash - Someone brainwashed by the state

Pucker Face - Ugly

Tattle - Comm broadcast

Two-Tone - Powers Division officer (?)

Updated. Also, I'm looking for a translation on these two:





'Dropbears' seems to be the Ghouls, particularly the ones that tend to fall next to you when you're nearby. I'm tempted to say 'slipperstyle' is 'messy'. Which would make 'confusinated'.. killed? Eaten?

Lesson 20.. now that I'm reading it, just seems to confirm the definitions we already have on 'chomper' and 'scamper'.

((I think "confusinated" would be what it looks/sounds like -- confused. And "slipperstyle" would be stealthily. I think it's saying the Ghouls who drop from the ceiling will ambush you. That's why you should keep your eyes up ("eye to the pie in the sky").

At least that's how I'm reading it. ))

Actually I think "wolverine" was supposed be a joke, because when I saw it it was supposed to be a battle cry when they attacked, like the resistance group did in the movie Red Dawn.

On the Praetorian lore subject, though not quite language-related, anyone know anything about the Praetorian calendar or where I can look in-game for more information on it? I noticed a plaque in the Magisterium today that referenced a ceremony taking place on such-and-such day in "AU35", I figured that was "after U-something" (Unification?) but going by his Going Rogue site profile Cole's only been Emperor for 25 years so not sure what event defined the start of the Praetorian calendar.

I think puckerface is the same thing as calling someone "kiss a**"
