Milk drinker?

Post » Sun Jan 13, 2013 10:40 am

What is that even supposed to mean? It is kind of ironic because most strongman competitors and powerlifters will tell you that you need to do three things - squat heavy, deadlift heavy, and DRINK LOTS OF MILK. Why is being a milk drinker an insult?

I think it means you're not man enough to handle mead and skooma.

Indeed. But i guess it have something to do with the real life aswell, for example: If you don't drink Beer, you're not cool. So you're a milk drinker, because you are a "baby". Something like that.

I always thought it as you still feed from the briast, as in you're a baby. That and you can't handle your mead.

Nords aren't the brightest nirnroots in the patch.

Because you look like a baby? I don't know, we Nords have strange offensive words.

Milk drinker refers to youth. As in, you still rely on the teat. It is also just an insult that is used. Some insults we use on Earth don't exactly make that much sense either, if you think about it

Milk makes your boners all strong, and Mead/Skooma will weaken your defenses. :P

Nords probably first drank mead when they were first born.

Nord women have probably adapted to having briast full of mead now.

"Bread and cheese is gude to eat when folk can get nae ither meat. Bread and milk is bairns' meat: I wish them sorrow that be it" it's an insult from Scotland.

I feel like if this were the case we'd see a lot of brothels across Skyrim ._.

Considering usually you hear Nords use this term, and that nutritional consideration be damned...It's a derogatory remark meant to infer that the recipient of said remark still nurses from his mother, and is still by all accounts a weak child. It really has nothing to do with choice of beverage.
