Discordography[edit]
|
This article or section has been rated D for Dwarf. It may include witty humour, not-so-witty humour, bad humour, in-jokes, pop culture references, and references to the Bay12 forums. Don't believe everything you read, and if you miss some of the references, don't worry. It was inevitable. |
The people of the Kitfox Discord communicate in Human language with the addition of a set of bespoke iconography with cryptic meanings. There are about 90 of these iconographic symbols; these are the most-popular of them:

Resume: Because of gorlak, df moment, or serious face (also as a primal reaction) |
Gorlak from the underground Caverns |
| :df_urist: |  |
