"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. ; )

LOL Mad Monkey. Dang.

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.

"Half a hundred "

darthfozzywig26 Apr 2016 8:32 p.m. PST

Oooh yeah, how could I forget that one?

Winston Smith26 Apr 2016 9:24 p.m. PST

HBO does use "I said the words" though.

jsans7327 Apr 2016 5:50 a.m. PST

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

saltflats192927 Apr 2016 6:44 p.m. PST

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?

Pig riding jousting dwarfs.

Thomas Thomas for the win.

saltflats192928 Apr 2016 7:48 p.m. PST

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.
