"Half a groat" "Much and more" and any reference to wiping goat grease from beards. |

You beat me to the punch with the goat grease. It makes one wonder what dinner etiquette is like at GRRM's house. |

Just look at him. Pig at the trough. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bit hefty myself, but daaaamn, I can still wipe my own arse. ; ) |

Granted, I'm pretty sure that's why HBO insisted on a story outline from GRRM: they took one look at how "healthy" he appeared and wanted some insurance. |

Oooh yeah, how could I forget that one? |
Winston Smith | 26 Apr 2016 9:24 p.m. PST |
HBO does use "I said the words" though. |

how about nuncle! GRRM seems to have a favourite word or phrase which dominates each book |

I just about fell out of my chair reading the last book when he wrote someone (maybe Barestan Selmy?) "Woke up, had a simple breakfast, and…" What?!? A "simple breakfast?!" Not ultra violet quail eggs sautéed in narwhale grease and garnished with tiroshi lavender buds? |

Ooooh yeah….or the "poor misunderstood vegetarian giant Wun wun". Puke. |

Constantly mentioning 'soldier pines', whatever that is. |

"Dothraki screamer." Pig riding jousting dwarfs.
GRRM does love to heap misery upon the downtrodden. Dwarf? Also ugly. Ugly dwarf? Also nose cut off. Ugly, no-nose dwarf? Humiliated, too. Ugly, no-nose, humiliated dwarf. So here's some leprosy for you. |

Let's not forget wiping dysentery and diarrhea from his 500 lb master. |

I can do without the torture of the Blue Bard, where his blood filled his boots. |
