TIL that wazzock is a British word. I've only heard it as a Dwarfish word in Warhammer universe.
Warhammer is made by a British company headquartered in Nottingham, where wazzock is a common local phrase that is believed to have originated a bit further north
Now I'm Im curious if any other words from this list https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Khazalid_lexicon are actually British English words?
Skree or scree is a real word for loose rocks on the side of a hill.
Also grim to describe harsh, we would say "its grim up north".
The rest are quite possibly a mix of old english/norse and also seems like there might be some asiatic in there like "kuri"
On that list i'd say chuff, git and skruff
It's an excellent word, a favourite of mine
