TIL that one of the names in Old Norse texts for the god Tyr (who got his hand heroically bitten off by Fenrir the Wolf) is...

... "Wolf Leftovers"

Norsemen, masters of the SICK BURN

@SaveTheOkapi @TarkabarkaHolgy As in, a charm that’s powered by farts, stops farting entirely, gives one’s farts special powers, or…?

@WhiteCatTamer @SaveTheOkapi @TarkabarkaHolgy a curse to inflict one's enemy with farts.

@dragonfrog @SaveTheOkapi @TarkabarkaHolgy Man, what a waste of potential. Even a curse to keep an enemy from farting anytime they’re bloated would be more fun.
