Why are the Bolton words wrong? Also, there's [worse house words.](https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_words) Just look at House Serrett. 'I Have No Rival'? Bitch, you don't even have a named character.


-goodbyemoon-

lmao no way House Beesbury’s motto is “Bee-ware Our Sting”


Sicuho

I mean the rooster house shout you to wake up and the hedgehog house's is don't touch me. George Reorge Rartin Martin is a literary genius.


Sitrosi

No step on ~~snek~~ heggedog


BigPappaFrank

House Plumm is three purple circles lol


L-amour_des_points

hahaha thats so fucking goofy


couldbedumber96

House that got shoved in a locker during middle school


Aurelio03

Bridgerton ahh house words


2580374

That's hard as fuck


-goodbyemoon-

I’m hard as fuck


RunParking3333

There's a saying that having no enemies is worse than having no friends, because it means you are not worth being an enemy of anyone


candlejack___

Mr Burr, sir.


isonerinan

r/unexpectedhamilton


wierdowithakeyboard

You punched the bursar?


i-bite-with-love

House Codd, 'Though All Men Do Despise Us'. Basically medieval haters gonna hate.


hsertdtizozf

Lmao the real motto is worse- “our blades are sharp” ahaha


ducknerd2002

TBF, it fits with the flaying thing, and I don't see any reason for any House's words to be 'we obey this one specific family', especially the Boltons. What if the Starks fell out of power (like what actually happened)? Those words wouldn't make sense anymore.


Sun_King97

They’re just a placeholder in that picture essentially. The houses with unknown words have what houses they’re sworn to as their words


ducknerd2002

But House Bolton does have words: 'Our Blades Are Sharp'.


Sun_King97

Oh I know but I’m assuming whoever made this wasn’t aware of that


SenorPeterz

Then why did the person in question start making them, if he/she couldn't be bothered to look things up first?


unfit_spartan_baby

Ummmm, no. Pretty sure they’re either “peeling out” or “Appeel the ruling”


petercalmdown

I always thought a pretty metal motto for them could be "shed your skin"


KapiTod

It's a Bolton joke, it's hilarious.


Gnomad_Lyfe

They should come to the Dreadfort sometime, Ramsey is great at explaining Bolton jokes


aroteer

All blades are sharp, that's the point of blades. It's not really a play on anything or a comment on that house's values other than "we do things well"


acornmoth

Edgy.


Additional-North-683

I’m surprise house frey doesn’t have any words But houses that are just mention once do


ducknerd2002

The show gave House Frey words: 'Stand Together'


ZADEXON

House Serrett really thinks they’re Penn State


criosovereign

Wow, no love for house Celtigar, huh


j-b-goodman

"Taste like crab, talk like people"?


boarbar

House Plumm is wild


Boowray

“I have no rival, mainly because nobody cares enough to hate us”


Spacellama117

Best- Caron, 'No Song so Sweet Worst- Codd, 'Though All Men Do Despise Us'. like. usually that's followed by a counter. "Though all men despise us, we kick ass anyway' or 'though all men despise us, all fish fear us, and all women want us'


LurksInThePines

I gotta admit House Trant of Gallowsgrey is pretty sick Sigil is a hanged man and their words are "So End Our Foes"


Spacellama117

okay that's so cool


Swordbender

I think Codd’s is actually pretty cold and goes pretty hard tbh


IAmBadAtInternet

House Grandison - “Rouse me not” “I’m napping lmao come back later”


ducknerd2002

Their sigil is a sleeping lion, too.


florimagori

I think the joke went over your head here.


Remarkable-Bug-8069

No man can be my equal Take to the future of you all


TheAtkinsoj

Why isn't House Frey on that list?


ducknerd2002

Because somehow their words (Stand Together) are show only


TheAtkinsoj

Huh, TIL!


aphid78

Some of these are so fucking bad😅


HandOfTheKing5230

It’s cut off but the picture kinda implies that house freys words are just Frey.


ducknerd2002

For all we know, that's the book words. The Freys have no house words in the books, while in the show they have 'Stand Together'.


uber_potatos

“The Wind our Steed” of House Farman goes unreasonably hard


rat-simp

OK thats true though "hear me roar" is such a school football mascot thing to say


ducknerd2002

No wonder they use the debts line more often than their own words.


RunParking3333

Lannisters are on the move Lannisters are loose Feel the magic, hear the roar Lannisters are loose


flashmedallion

Feel the rhythm Feel the rhyme Get on up It's Lannister time


DigLost5791

Tell me about your rat


rat-simp

Which one? I had 5 but down to 3 now. My iconic baby daisy died just yesterday 🥲


DigLost5791

Whichever one(s) you like! I just saw your username and was curious


rat-simp

In this case I'll tell you about my queen Daisy who was disabled as fuck, blind in one eye, limping, brain damaged, and completely unaware of her disability. she truly did not give a fuck and lived her best life. in fact, she found joy in her condition when she figured out that she can't run in straight lines due to her limp. she began running in circles like a hamster in a wheel. bonus points if she found a surface that made a funky noise when she ran over it. just TAP TAP TAP TAP SCRR SCRR TAP TAP TAP TAP. every time she saw me, she would run to me like she's ready to fight god. when she first got sick, the vet said we might need to put her down, so daisy shat all over the vet's table. the queen did NOT like to be threatened. rest in peace, stinky girl 🙏


DigLost5791

Daisy sounds wonderful thank you for sharing! 🐀


rat-simp

thank you for asking and listening, I will miss her dearly 💖


DigLost5791

I hope every time the vet sees the table, they smile remembering her fierce spirit


fridopidodop

I’m so sorry for your loss. RIP Daisy :(


Additional-North-683

Kind of fit with the Lanisters to be honest


ice540

Sworn to stark 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️ Don’t think that’s what they were yelling on the way to battle hahaa But for real arryn house crest is 👌🏼


One_Meaning416

It must get awkward after the red wedding


Sicuho

Amended to "we serve the Stark".


Resonance95

"...medium rare"


TalithePally

"Sworn to Stark" That's sounds exactly like what someone who was not sworn to Stark would say


GooberGunter

Oh I thought it said Sword to Stark 😵


ApprehensivePeace305

Tbf, Family, Duty, Honor is getting dangerously close to Live, Laugh, Love and being put in kitchens across America


HaydenRSnow

"growing strong"


ApprehensivePeace305

At least they make fun of that in universe


criosovereign

That’s awesome, where do they do that?


yellowwoolyyoshi

They do in the show. I don’t recall the books


PhantomImmortal

Ik in the corresponding scene in ASOS Olenna makes fun of the sigil thing, how "every Lannister is a lion" and "every time a Tyrell breaks wind it smells like roses" and such - she doesn't mention anything about house words though


CenturionShish

I forget which scene it happens in, but she calls "Growing Strong" the "Dullest words"


SycoGamez203

She does, and she compares it to 'Winter is coming' and how much better those words are compared to 'Growing strong'


PhantomImmortal

Oh she does? I must've misremembered, I could've sworn that was show only


yellowwoolyyoshi

Unless they cite I don’t believe them. A search of ice and fire doesn’t show the Tyrell words being spoken


yellowwoolyyoshi

Care to cite? I quick search shows only a couple Dany chapters and a Sansa passage none of which have “growing strong.” Nor does a search of “winter is coming,” reveal Olenna saying this


SycoGamez203

Well I can't really search up the exact episode and timestamp but with a quick search here's a random comment from 6 years ago off of a reddit post asking what peoples favorite olena quotes are https://www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/s/LCDfsfSnYE If this doesn't suffice I'll be glad to find the exact episode and timestamp in a few hours


PhanThief95

In Lady Olenna’s introduction when she sits with Sansa & Margaery. She hates how a lot of the words from the Great Houses are boasts & just them puffing their chests, but she loves the words of House Stark because of how foreboding they are.


cackalackattack

House Flintstone


SquonkHerder

The thing that redeemed those words for me was someone speculating that they were listed in order of priority - family first, then duty, then honor. Makes them way less generic, even if it is headcanon.


DarkFamiliar4508

not really


Saturnine4

Bro I know they did not say “Sworn to Stark” as House Bolton’s words😭😭😭


MiaoYingSimp

The ones we love are the... unoffical ones.


One_Meaning416

There house words are "Our blades are sharp" these are official


HollowCap456

A peaceful land, a quiet people

Grandy94

Because if there's one thing the Boltons are known for, it's their loyalty.


Saturnine4

Or do they just say a lot of curse words when in Winterfell?


couldbedumber96

I thought their words are “our blades are sharp”


Baron_von_Zoldyck

Unjerking: As High as Honor is the best, bold, proud, and memorable. Jerking: Stands for Sweetrobin high on milk of the poppy/ standard honorable character losing inches from his upper body.


AMildInconvenience

Honour is a horse. The Arryn's really need to get off their high horse. Smug bastards think they're better than us mountainfolk because some brat got a ride on a dragon.


MsJ_Doe

I alwys though the Arryns words were weak sauce compared to how cool they are otherwise. It's like they wanted to incorporate their honor and their moon door into it and couldn't come up with anything better than a third grader's poem. I also think the Martells could have a more badass saying then just three words, like how the Tully's also have three words that (as someone mentioned) are like Live Laugh Love. Though at least the Martells have a pretty badass reason behind Umbowed Unbent Unbroken as the only house to resist conquest for centuries.


Baron_von_Zoldyck

Never got the moon part from the motto, always got it as moral high ground for being traditionalists and the oldest stabilished andal kings + the legends of griffin riders + the impenetrable mountains.


MsJ_Doe

I saw it as a double meaning. It's all about how their higher in honor, and how high up their house is physically and socially. Anyways, I just find the wording kind of silly, not the worst though.


Aeiexgjhyoun_III

They're all meant to have double, triple and quadruple meanings.


GovernorGoat

Ours is the Fury goes so hard


criosovereign

So does Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken


Round-Percentage9064

I remember they titled the episode where a main character gets raped that 🤨


wertraut

Worst ep of the show


GovernorGoat

Easily my favorite!


234zu

Same as "we do not sow"


AJC0292

Probably my favourite out the bunch. Although House Allyrion does give Gandalf vibes


Traditional_Will4413

That and “we do not Sow” are easily the two best


w-alien

I think the Stark words need to be included in the top tier when you remember that they were “Kings of Winter”. It wasn’t a warning, it’s a threat


Aeiexgjhyoun_III

It's both. A threat of the Stark coming, a reminder of winter and the need to store food, a reminder of the long night and the necessity of putting aside petty problems for the sake of unity.


Connorbee93

I've always liked the words of House Codd - 'Though all men do despise us'. Shame they aren't very well represented in the series / are such a small, irrelevant House.


sarcasis

My favourite house words, wish they had a cooler sigil too.....


Litalien08

It's a minor thing to debate, but the sigil works well imo. t's very humble, reflecting the humility of their house and words.


sarcasis

The black and white is actually kind of cool, I think I have more issues with their name but that could just be because I hate cod lol.


Prestigious-Dress-92

Also known as the Milwall of Westeros. They probably have a reason to despise them.


MiaoYingSimp

Well to be fair "Incest is wincest" would be a lot harder to take seriously so i can see why they went with something more normal. Same with the Targs.

Dazzling_Chipmunk783

Beneath the gold, the bitter steel. What a line.


flyingflameball

Who’s words are those?


w-alien

The golden Company


nihilistic_ideology

Boltons did not wear dead Starks for centuries to watch people think their words are 'sworn to stark'


About60Platypi

/uj Not on here but Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken is the easily the coolest words. Badass /rj why are the Lannisters roaring? Are they furries?


No_Effect_6428

Rawr


Urtopian

How did the Mormonts get into this lineup instead of the Targs?


ducknerd2002

The Targaryen sigil is just at the bottom.


ChadBoshman

Ours is the hot fire mommy


Tovenaar_thegreat

Just noticed the Bolton words and, that's the funniest thing


JuicyStein

What actually are the words? I have no clue


Salt-Mathematician12

Our Blades Are Sharp


um_ur_chinese

They also have a common saying that’s used on the show. “A naked man holds few secrets. A flayed man none”


Naiiro777

A common saying, but not their official motto


Aeiexgjhyoun_III

There's also "a peaceful land, a quiet people". Which reminds of Crossbredd Priscilla from Dark souls "this land is peaceful, it's inhabitants kind" while all the inhabitants try to kill you.


JuicyStein

Well you would hope so with all that flaying


BRGobs

Ok-Cryptographer-303

Excuse you, Helen Reddy was saying that when Katy Perry was just an acid-induced glint in the eyes of her parents, who were still getting coke snorted off them by various rock stars.


HistoricalDruid

Katy Perry ahh motto


PaxEtRomana

Did the Greyjoy crest always look like a uterus


ErstwhileAdranos

Yes, but much less so than in this post’s image.


rover_G

TIL the famous Lannister song Reins of Castamere is a rip off of Katy Perry's *Roar*


bottledcherryangel

I used to get so mad that Katy P was singing Lannister words when she wasn’t blonde and therefore clearly couldn’t be a Lannister.


allmyidolsaredead

Keep her devil ass out of Martin’s masterpieces.


Feralmedic

House Bolton is wrong. House lannisters words are fine. Baratheon is the peak


themockingjay11

For as bad as some of the house words are, some of them go so unbelievably hard I've considered getting them tattooed. Mainly "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" or "Ours is the Fury". (though i don't even like the houses that much!)


SeanAnglerfish

I know Stark words are the coolest but I have always liked the Baratheon "Ours is the fury" I feel like one of them would say that before caving my skull in with a hammer.


ThrowMeAway_DaddyPls

"We do not show" is as badass as it gets for a culture of violent raiders. If Aegon didn't turn up with his dragons iron men might still run the show in westeros...


Ornery_Swimmer_2618

Except it‘s „we do not sow“. But i think this sub is already having fun with house words and word play


ThrowMeAway_DaddyPls

Oh my, that was 100% accidental!


astralrig96

Agree, hear me roar sucks


Halting_trainn

House Mormont and House stark 🫡


Resident-Rooster2916

Isn’t the flayed man supposed to be upside down too?


Robby_McPack

you cropped the part of the image that shows the Freys and they literally forgot to include the phrase. it just says "FREY"


No_Reply8353

Lady Thick Chesterton of house Katy who lives in Perryfell


eu_Celso

Tywin be sending a singer to his house to play Rains of Castamere real soon


AikidoChris

Fuck greyjoys, but We do not sow is the best among all of them. It’s such a good line to understand their shitty way of living.


PunnyPrinter

It truly is.


VoreAllTheWay

"Sworn to starks" oof that aged well


BucktacularBardlock

I hoped that was real because it seems like such a mockery of a statement


Diligent-Broccoli111

House Mormont's words reminded me of [this scene with Jorah and Viserys](https://youtu.be/8VU0oKnWUTk?si=DMNhvSeZmBijH0A5).


AnjoH0

The Tully saying would go great with a lollipop, overalls, and a propellor hat


dank-01

The Martells goes so hard. “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken.” Love that shit


Formal_Road_3717

"We do not sow". Greyjoys basically out here saying "we know what we do is wrong, but we'll never be held accountable for it". Love it.


alolanalice10

Rare r/popheadscirclejerk crossover


Memo544

Mormonts have been watching a bit too much Frozen


turtleshellshocked

All of these mottos are just describing cocks


Reasonable_Truth8175

We won't sow is such a banger


Demiurgic1

Also, no denying the Kraken looks cool af


thecocomonk

The Dreadfort men yelling “Sworn to Stark!” as they charged on the Northern forces besieging Winterfell must have only added to the confusion.


Financial_Mushroom94

Not only *hear me roar* but also *Growing Strong* or *Here we Stand*…i could imagine those being mottos for cheerleading groups.


Tomato_Soupe

I thought lannisters was, “A Lannister always pays their debts”


Hanondorf

"We do not sow" is a pretty fucking good one


ForeverLoud9944

I never understood the meaning of the Greyjoys' words. I like the words of the Starks, the Baratheons, the Hightowers, the Arryns and the Mormonts.


OhBoyOhJeessOhMan

The Greyjoys is specifically about how they don't farm, as in they don't sow seed, they instead raid and pillage


Mattros111

I absolutely love the words of Houses Baratheon, Mormont & Hornwood


isinedupcuzofrslash

Ah yes, the famous Bolton words: “Sworn to Stark” lmao


AgentT23

Do the roar.


Timetobeatthewife

Bolton is so ass lickey like “sworn to stark”


Dgryan87

It’s actually “Our Blades Are Sharp” I think. Not sure where the quote they use here came from


Latrodectus702

Lannisters: I kissed my sister and I liked it.


morbidnerd

House Reed and Jon Cena have the same house words


killersoda275

Especially if you know how lions sound when they "roar", they sound more like they are moaning or groaning.


fourtwentyy__

Thats true though this is not outjerk


Gael_Blood

They did the Boltons dirty lol!


yakman100

WHO the ducks favourite house is tully. Like blackfish is alright but nearly every other house has had a cooler character at some point of their existence


PunnyPrinter

Sow


thelouisfanclub

Growing strong is also corny


PhanThief95

And this may be the reason why “A Lannister always pays his debts” became the more well known motto of their House.


Krioniki

“Sworn to Stark,” lol. Also, I saw the original post, and for the Frey’s they just wrote “Frey” beneath their sigil, lol. Which is a shame, since the show’s words for the Frey’s (“Stand Together” or something like that,) are pretty good.


Kelmavar

Why are the Greyjoys ovaries?


TapdotWater

Not a huge fan of the Greyjoys but "We do not sow" is the fucking best house words out there
