I've googled and can't find anything solid, and it's critical that the community know the answer:
What's worse a skeeving horker or a horking skeever? Thanks for your responses!

✭Dunno, I can't seem to get a translation for both words "skeeving" and "horking". Whatever that means. I know what Skeevers and Horkers are in ES games, but not if these words have an actual meaning.

Necrelios✭✭✭✭✭Well I'd say a Skeeving Horker is worse, because that Horker is obviously up to no good in that case. A Horking Skeever on the other hand is just a skeever that's a bit of a couch potato, laying around like a horker, probably after having already done enough skeeving so at least the danger of that has passed. One thing is for sure, there certainly is an abundance of creative and lore friendly curses out there. Most people just stick to the old fashioned boring ones though.Terms & Conditions ["We revoke permission to fictional legal constructs or private/public persons for selling of any private data, censorship, surveillance, personage or conversion as a trespass of law.

I was thinking this at first, but then I realized I was assuming "skeeving" refers to thieving, or sneaking, or some kind of back-stabbing type of behavior. Then it occurred to me that skeevers probably have tons of other behaviors. What if for example skeevers procreate "like rabbits" as we might say? What if skeeving horker is actully a reference to promiscuity? What if horkers mate for life? Skeeving horker then might mean something along the lines of being hypocritical.
Added bold: I agree and it's one reason why I love TES.4 -
stewhead2ub17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Finally a refreshing new thread, instead of the usual QQ crap that fills these forums so often! I would vote for the "Skeeving Horker" being worse, No basis for this other than it just sounds more dastardly! Ty OP!1 -

Mosha✭✭Gotta second @stewhead2ub17_ESO 's first point. Thanks so much for thinking outside the QQ box and making general discussion general (and great
) again!
Secondly: Horking skeever sounds more nord-like imo, while I could imagine a khajiit or aldmer saying skeeving horker. no clue why, just my weird brain

✭✭✭✭✭I would also go with skeeving horker as being worse.
Personally I'd like to see an in-game lorebook of all the insults and their meanings. It dries my scales not to know the best way to use some of these words. When is it most appropriate, for example, to call someone a s'wit? Is s'wit worse than fetcher? Are there any useful swearwords or insults in Ayleidoon?#proud2BAStarObsessedLoony

Thank you @T0M_R3V3N
I think a horking skeever sounds worse. Or I just horking don't have a clue.
Hehe.There are moments I dont have a horking clue either. XD
I think I like the
"Skeeving Horker",..cos of the Horkers ingame.Although,the Horking Skeever bit is more understandable.
Hork it,..
