Slang Term: "Biyu tawng"
Meaning: It is translated directly to common as difficult oak. However, the expression is usually used when describing someone who is overly (and usually annoyingly) stubborn.
Origins: The expression was originally used by a tree singer of Desnind, he had worked with the growing of oaks and observed how they could be particularly stubborn and hard to persuade. This was then adopted by the masses of Desnind as an expression pertaining to particularly stubborn people.
Example: "Ti'niva it such a Biyu tawg. He never lets me be the first to shoot."
Created by: Ti'niva

Phrase: Äïwätär dabi (in Xanthea. "Rush life" in common)
Pronunciation: /Ai-wa-tar/ d-abi
Meaning: A phrase used in Desnind and by Sev'ryn throughout Idalos to refer to the need of many non-Sev'ryn to rush about and fail to appreciate the beauty that's right there in front of them. The inference is that they are so busy rushing through life that they do not stop to realise that they are living it. It is not so much a derogatory term as more like a parent watching a child charging from one toy to another and not really stopping to enjoy any of them.

Phrase: Sarkar-ẹrọ
Group: Sev'ryn and Native Desninders.
Origin: Derogatory Term/Insult.
Meaning: Sarkar-ẹrọ means in Xanthean, 'City Thing'. It's meant to refer to a person or thing that is detached from nature. Highly derogatory.
