Brailhead : noun.
- An insult popular among galdori students. It's not a light insult, it's quite offensive for a galdor to be called a brailhead
- Ascribes recklessness, idiocy and incompetence to the insulted person. One deserving of the backlash that'll result from brailing (link?). Someone who'd therefore be unreliable in chorus spellcasting etc.

Something/someone has cracked the water barrel
Expression of Mugrobi origin, referencing the importance of water in the desert based culture, and also the God Hulali. Thus a cracked water vessel is irreverent, leading to waste. As such the expression has come to mean
- a regrettable accident at best
- wilful destruction at worst
- a right mess in any case

I love this. A few in my headcanon, I'll add as I remember.
Deckhead
n. - A slang term of Mugrobi origin, typically for those who drink too much and end up on the deck of the river-boats face down in their own vomit. Colloquially, a drunkard or, more specifically, a lecherous drunkard.

mites noun
Used by the upper form students at Brunnhold for the youngest students, the ten and eleven year olds. It's not derogatory, and may even if used with some affectionate overtones.
Example : The mites look lost, let's see where they are supposed to be..

Hulali floats... and he drowns.
Idiom.
Used by Mugrobi traders, it’s akin to “the Lord gives and he takes away.” Usually, only the first part is used when something is going well, often expressed as an exclamation. “Hulali floats!”
The whole phrase is often used when warning someone that thinks they are untouchable or infallible, such as a trader who thinks his supply will always fulfill the demand. It’s a cautionary phrase here.
“My route is quite fortuitous!”
“Hulali floats, and he drowns.”
