Line 300:
* [[Elephant in the Living Room]]: Over the eight thousand years since the Long Night, the conditions at the Wall have steadily been ignored, leaving the garrison there undermanned, undersupplied, and incapable of holding the wall against the Wildlings or the White Walkers. Outside the Wall, nobody seems to openly acknowledge the dangers the coming winter will bring. Even the Starks' own words, "Winter is coming", haven't prepared them.
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]]: Khal Drogo's Westerosi is very limited, but when his speech in Dothraki is subtitled he's revealed to be a highly intelligent war leader, a loving husband, and an eloquent and fiery speaker. It sometimes overlaps with [[Strange Syntax Speaker]], as the Dothraki don't have words for things like plate armour or castles.
** Tyrion finds himself subject to this once arriving in Mereen. Normally reliant on his wit and skill with language to get by, he suddenly finds himself making silly stumbles and having to rely on Missandei to help him make himself understood.
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]:
** Petyr Baelish clearly does not like people calling him Littlefinger.
Line 377 ⟶ 378:
* [[Grammar Nazi]]: Stannis Baratheon, who corrects Davos Seaworth on the usage of less vs fewer when Davos is answering about his knucklebones, [[Fingore|hacked off by Stannis]].
* [[Grim Up North]]: The North is colder, harsher and less populated than the South. North of the Wall is even worse.
