*Whore: Other than its usual meaning, it is also used in conjunction with almost every other Achaean term to describe an excess usage of said term. For example to axe-whore is to describe a Sentinel repeatedly using the skill of axe throwing. It is derogatory in almost every context, denoting a lack of skill and hence an over-reliance on cheap tricks. See also: [[Achaean Lingo#Artiewhore|Artiewhore]] and [[Achaean Lingo#Honours whore|Honours whore]].
