*rereads strip, falls over laughing* CHEESE!
Okay this is an expression of exasperation. It comes from 'using the Lord's name in vain', as in:

"Would you shut up? Jesus Christ, you're a pain in the ass."
to
"Shut up! Jesus!" (Note, there should be a pause between the ! and the J. It's not 'telling Jesus to shut up.')
to
"SHHH! Jeez."
to
*finger in front of mouth, pause, then* "Cheese."

There's lots of words we use that are 'neutralized' versions of religious profanity.
-Jimminy Cricket!
-Gosh Darnit!
-Crumbs!
-Cripes!
-To Heck with it all.
-Holy Crap!
-Holy Smoke!
-Omigosh!
-Goodness Gracious!
-Oh my goodness!
-You scared the Bajeebus out of me.
-Jeepers Creepers.
-Cheese.
etc.

That's interesting. Some euphemisms turn out to be really strange.

That's rather tame compared to some of them. English is weird.

from jesus to cheese? O_o_O cool...

It's all in the enunciation.

984 fight worse a damn - is it good or bad?

Worth, not worse. Essentially, they fight so badly they aren't even worth swearing at.

Yeah, Lord Felgrin's right. She's telling him his soldiers are awful.

1803 what is a conador? and what supposed to mean a game of words of Gor?..

All the barbarians are parodies of characters from other things.

Conador is a combination of two names, Conan [the Barbarian] and Kalador (the Conan replacement character from the movie "Red Sonya"), both of whom were played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
That's the guy who lead the party that brought them back to the village.

Gor is a series of terrible terrible TERRIBLE TERRIBLE awful bad yucky bad bad terrible "novels" by John Norman. They feature the "adventures" of an Earthman-turned-barbarian on a parallel world called Gor. Known for being all violence and sex (and shortly into the series, just sex), after the first couple, they all centered mostly around women being turned into naked slaves and learning that they're a lot happier being beaten and threatened and abused by big stupid men (at least, I assume they all do. I've only read a few of them.)

The writing is horrendous (did I mention they were terrible?) and has a unique "style" with people repeating themselves over and over and over. Not unlike the dialogue I've written there. I found them so naive and ridiculously funny I was briefly addicted to them because they made me laugh so hard.

They have, nevertheless, cultivated quite a following. Which is creepy.

I think we're still waiting for Rancourt to post the Live Reading videos.

1744 what means "hag on" and haggie?

He's making puns. He means for it to sound like "Hang on" and "Hankie."



... They're not very good puns.
