OK, roughly...

"Afaes Fireytaxed the Torrid Diamond Wealth-Spark of Sweltering".

Doesn't sound that cool actually.

I was talking about importing alimunim.
And we were hypothesising about the sexual relations between elves and trees.

it can translate to a drunken dwarf trying to say "Ahh! my beard is on fire!" while having a mangled tongue.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Now, if we could only mod Giant War Eagles to carry crossbows, we could do strafing runs on the elves who sold the eagles to us in the first place.

Just the Orc mod.

So, it could be orcish then?
Orcs have [UTTERANCES]

No they don't - perhaps you're looking at an old version of the Orc mod. Looking at language_ORC.txt from said mod, I can confirm that it is indeed an Orcish name - "fireytaxed" translates as "asojÿbælüpugy", which matches part of the name shown, and "æfæs" (the first name) translates as "wealth".

 Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

Ridiculous. A dwarf would find nothing wrong with a burning beard.

Just out of curiosity, what DOES Dwarf Fortress smell like?
Death, Booze, and Insanity.

He would probably be rewarded for his awesomeness.
