"Atishoo" was once a grave insult in Brigand. While our current translations are notably in the early stages, it's thought to be something akin to this:
"Your mother was born with her foot in the mud, your father was the son of a shoe salesman, and your left hand smells of cheese".
Why this was such an offense is still unknown, but it has been found marked across the effects of less respected members of the community.
Ok that takes this to a new level.
Atisshoo. FTFY.
