There's a coat of arms that goes with my surname, though I doubt any of my ancestors had anything to do with winning them. The motto--that part that goes under the shield--is either "Foi est tout", which means "Faith is everything", or "Quickly and Cautiously", depending on which coat-of-arms you look up. Neither of them expresses anything that I can relate to.

My own battle cry is probably something like, "Oh Crap!" Or maybe a simple "Why you little... I'm going to KILL you!"

Coming up with a motto is harder, but I think I might go with "Pay Attention". It's short, sweet, and something I always have to remind myself to do.

These battle cries are amusing but 'battle' cries they are not.

Any battle cry has to be short, repetitive and terrifying.

"Eng-er-land!" shouted by a drunken crowd of football hooligans can be a battle cry.

Welsh fans singing "Sospan bach" is not. (Little saucepan)

"Geronimo!" appeared to be a favourite for US paratroops jumping out of aircraft in WWII Europe.

"Bugger!" or even "Bugger Me!" was the British equivalent.

"Bugger Me!"

That is a battlecry in England? No more comment.

Well, bugger me sideways, I'd never heard that before.

"Vindaloo" also became very popular with English football fans during the 1996 European Championships. If you don't know why, please don't ask, it's a very unfortunate tale.

Found this over at the GB, posted by Dreamweaver, I think.

It's really too funny. Try it.......here

Mine is:

Zang! Who is that, running on the plains! It is Cloudy, hands clutching a thorned whip! And with a bloodthirsty cry, her voice cometh:

"I'm going to smash you so forcibly, you will polymorph into Ronald Reagan!!!"

"I'm going to hump you beyond capacity, and then some!"

That's what it said, honest.

 

[Colleen Thomas]

Frankly, I think Colly just made hers up. P.

No Dita love, If I had made it up it would have been:

"Your're going to fuck you so thoroughly, I will not be able to see straight!!"

Bloody tough being an intimidating fluff

Yes darling one, but we never use the phrase in the local Gay club.

It does explain an awful lot, but then there were so many warriers creeping up behind us in our ancient past, it became a rather useful mechanism for survival.

Neon, Pops: I love how you Englanders larf at yourselves.

That reminds me of Jones's catchphrase in Dad's Army: "They don't like it up 'em."

Dad's Army was a British sit-com about the home guard during WWII. Jones had served in the Boer War. The "it" was his spear, and the "'em" were the Zulus (I think!).

Sprinting through the tarmac, brandishing a meaty axe, cometh Lauren Hynde! And she gives a bloodthirsty roar:

"Blood and souls for my dark lord! I carve into flesh like a sentient bulldozer!!!"

 

[Guest]

Laurencita, make some expert line-breaks and post your cry as a poem. Seriously. Then let me know how the votes go. P.

[Mhari]

Hehe, I've done this for my real name, and my EverQuest alter-ego, but never for this name...

Lo! Who is that, rampaging amidst the wasteland! It is Mhari, hands clutching a meaty axe! She cries homicidally:

"I'm going to bludgeon you until Western Civilization implodes!!!"

I liked my other ones better, sigh.

 

[minsue]

Skulking over the icy wasteland, wielding a sharpened screwdriver, cometh Minsue! And she gives an ominous scream:

"As sure as predators devour prey, skulls will be fucked for Satan!"

But nobody does it better than you.

Skulking over the mountains, clutching a mighty sword, cometh Ana! And she gives an ominous grunt:

"I'm going to pulverize you so utterly, your reincarnation will be a scientific anomaly!!"

 

[Guest]

Stalking on the steppes, attacking with a piece of chainlink fence, cometh CrimsonMaiden! And she gives a mighty howl:

"I'm going to contort you so forcibly, the devil himself will plead for mercy!!"

LOL I need coffee! I first read that as:

I'm going to comfort you so forcibly

It doesn't have quite the OOMPH as contort, does it?

A little too blood thirsty for me, but my clan mottos are 'I shine, not burn' - for the Macleods of Lewis, 'Hold fast' - for the Macleods of Harris.
