12 Words And Phrases From “Game Of Thrones” That Need To Be Part Of Your Vocabulary

by Wendy Stokes March 6, 2019
by Wendy Stokes March 6, 2019

I’m completely and utterly absorbed in both the Game of Thrones book series, by George R. R. Martin, and the HBO show. It’s so imaginative! As I’ve been reading the books, I’ve been completely enthralled by some of the language Martin uses, both old-fashioned terms and unique turns of phrase that really roll off the tongue, and I am determined to introduce many of them into my regular speech. Here are 12 to start!

Phrase: “Blood of my blood”
Meaning: Basically, in-laws.
In a sentence: “We’re spending Thanksgiving with the blood of my blood. It should be fun, so long as Uncle Nick doesn’t get drunk again!”

Phrase: “Make water”
Meaning: To urinate.
In a sentence: “Ugh, I have to make water so badly. I shouldn’t have had so many Diet Cokes today.”
