### Vinitica

#### Vinjak

A Hálgan slur used against Viniticans, predominantly Northern Viniticans, which originated from a combination of the Hálgan word Vojak (warrior) and Vinitican. The slur was mostly used by Hálgan soldiers fighting in the Northern Coalition during the last days of the Vinitican Empire and carries an ironic undertone, due to the cultural understanding in Hálga that Vinitican warriors are considered weak and dishonourable. The terms is frequently used in mocking slogans such as "Vinjacy Šnedi podle Čálgan" ("Vinjaks Shned over Chalgans) - used in reference to the Battle Upon Šned, which saw many heavily armoured Vinitican soldiers drown in the river as a result of the Coalition's maneuvers.

#### Vinitel

An Archaic Vastaiosi slur once used against Viniticans. The term came into being shortly after Vastaiosi tribes discovered Vinitican settlers hunting and killing the native Pitagnagoii. Today, the term directly translates to evil, and the ancient word for evil has been forgotten to time. While it is not used as a slur in modern Vastaiosi vocabulary, it is found in idioms such as "*Na exare Vinitel*" (Don't be Vinitii+Evil).

#### Vinaboo

A general term used to refer to people who romanticise and/or wish to recreate the Vinitican empire.

#### Cavisage

A Vinitcan term meaning "wine face" usually used to refer to Northern Vinitcans. The term references the pale skin of northerners that turns wine coloured in the cold northern weather.
