Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Ask the Author; Zootopian Slurs


 

WT: Actually I do have a few slurs and phrases I can throw your way. Although not exactly a complete compendium, I have been compiling a sort of slang and slurs dictionary for Zootopia since the early days of “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether”. With that in mind, the slurs are largely going to be related to goats, sheep, wolves and canines, as that marked a majority of the species of characters involved in my fics.

 

Dag or Dag Muncher- Dry clumps of Dung that cling to a sheep's wool. In Zootopia it's an insult among caprines, and adding muncher to it makes it worse.

Herbs- Slang for herbivores/prey

Riggwelter- A sheep that has fallen onto it's back and can't get up, and insult among caprids.

Lamb Shanks- Caprine slang, light curse.

Mutton Chops- Caprine slang, light curse.

Grazer- Slang for sheep, coats etcetera, can be used as an insult.

Mutt- Canid insult.

Gimmer - Slang for a loose female sheep, equivalent to calling a ewe a whore or slut.

Culler Ewe- An older, unmarried ewe that is beyond child bearing age. Therefore useless as a potential mate. It's considered a insult.

Mongrel - The canid equivalent of the 'N' word. Don't call a wolf a mongrel unless you are looking for a brawl.

Prey-Chaser- Offensive slang for predators who date or are interested in dating prey mammals.

Pred-Baiter- Offensive slang for prey who date or are interested in dating predator mammals.

Scraperfoot – A slang term for foxes. Primarily it means something akin to 'moocher' or 'Grifter'.

That's pretty much all the slurs i've got at present, although I'm work shopping more fox slurs as I working “The Family Vulpes”, so the list is on going. Feel free to use some of these in your own works if you like. A shout out would be appreciated though.
