Dragon or Human Insults
One of the more interesting insults used in the NewEarth Series is the use of species characterizations. For instance a gossipy person is a gibber. A human with great integrity is dragon like and a dragon with little control is a beast, not even specified.
Gordon has times when he is as stubborn as one of his cattle and Brom is quick to point out that some humans are as stupid as a bentar and will follow blindly.
While some dragons may be as strong as a great old tree, others are as feeble as a three legged howler. The insults are many and varied but none as cutting as those issued with the power of the planet in mind. No matter the species, if an individual no longer serves the planet and knowingly breaks her rules, they are useless meat.
Love them!
