− | + | The first name "'''Urist'''" is generally accepted in the DF community as "the" generic dwarven name, and often used as a reference name if someone talks about a dwarf and doesn't have (or want to bother with) an actual name. This name is often, if not always, linked with a last name of 'Mc______'*, that includes some trait or his job. | |
− | + | ::''(* probably because dwarfs are "known" to have a Scottish accent)'' | |
− | + | For Example: | |
+ | :Urist McMiner can't find his pick! | ||
+ | :It's time for Urist McUselessNoble to have an [[unfortunate accident]]. | ||
+ | :Urist McStupid dodged into the magma. | ||
− | + | Urist is the dwarvish word for "dagger". | |
− | + | The origin of the name's popularity seems to be the tale "[http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=15572.0 One Dwarf Against the World]," a well-received narrative style account of a hermit fortress played in the 2D version. That dwarf's full name was Urist Borushdumat (Raked-Roughness). Despite that dwarf having been female, the name is used for either gender of generic dwarf. | |

− | + | '''Urist''' is also the tongue-in-cheek term for the [[temperature]] units used by ToadyOne in DF. It has since been adopted by players, and has expanded to be a unit of measurement for any dwarven measuring system. | |
