Some new slang suggestions!

For Brunnhold students:
Bee eater: used to refer to a person doing something gauche or classless, owing to a mistaken conception among Brunnhold students that local humans eat bees. The origins of this belief are unknown, but are believed to be a prank by a local human on a student researcher.

For Bastians:
Stripe it, striping: phrases meant to express exasperation, the Bastian tiger-based equivalent of clock slang
By Her fearful symmetry, by Her deadly terrors: powerful Bastian oaths/swears, indicating that the speaker intends to follow through of what they say; also suffices as a threat. As an example: “If you don’t striping shut up, by Her fearful symmetry...”

I'd like to suggest "sink me", "sink me sideways" etc. as an expression of disbelief or frustration common among mugrobi wicks and/or sailors
