lonewolf1977 Junior Member Offline --> Posts: 6 --> Join Date: Mar 2009	Dreadnoks Way of Speech Hey guys, I'm new here and starting my first dio and need a few pointers on phrases the dreadnoks would use, like certain words substituted for others and all. Any suggestions would help, like the spelling of certain words and anything you can come up with. Thanx.

I agree the best reference for a Dio would be the comics, If you are having trouble getting a hold of them I may be able to help you out. PM me for details!

I refer specifically to terms like "gor" and "blimey" and stuff like that. I can hear them in my head, but it's been so long since I saw any of the cartoons, I could be imagining them, or confusing them with illiterate pirates. anyway, it would be interesting to have the group translate a phrase to "Australian anti social criminal-speak." lol __________________ thinktankproduction.com

The way the 'Noks (and Major Bludd for that matter) spoke in the cartoons was laughable. They sounded more like London Cockneys than Aussies. "Gor"and "Blimey"are not terms you will hear used here. I suppose the producers of the cartoons thought no-one would know any better!

I'm not sure if I ever did Dreadnok speak. I did do Cajun speak ala Gung Ho tho it lost some people cuz the dialect got a bit thick at times. In addition to the cartoons, watch a lot of funky movies. Pirates of the Caribbean might not help but it might give you an idea when playing with different-speak.
