I must have skimmed by it which I find strange knowing my immature sense of humor. This podcast has opened my eyes to the brillance of House Manwoody though. |

yeah, and manwoody also totally went over my head. on the other hand - some of the more casual english terms I learned from listening to apoiaf. that is something you do not learn in school or from literature |

Don't feel bad, Bronn, you were not the only one who failed to notice the Manwoody epicness the first time around.  And I have to agree with LordManderBlee, the podcast was a great help in bringing attention to this House.  (and the Houses who originated as branches of House Manwoody, of course)

No worries I could fill a book with all the things I didn't pick up on the first read through. I was too engrossed in plot to do anything other than just power through names and descriptions.

Well I'll be a son of a gun, I just assumed that house Manwoody was APOIAF's immature sense of humor. Amazing. Dickon Manwoody...teehee. |

I love Manwoody more and more (that's what she said) for just this reason. Everyone always thinks we're being immature and goofy, but it's cannon. I love it! It's the prize that keeps on giving. (that's also what she said.) |

I get the "More" Manwoody, "Miles" of Manwoody, and good old "Dick" Manwoody, but where does Dagos fit in. Try as I might I don't, I can't find any double entendre or 12 year old humor. |

Maybe Dagos means big in High Valyrian or dothraki or children of the forest tongue or elvish

Dagos. Da, being a corrupted form of "the" and gos meaning "grand ol' schlong." |

Don't be ashamed; NOBODY catches everything on their first readthrough of this series. My first two times I thought the Brave Companions was another name for the Brotherhood Without Banners, not the Bloody Mummers. OK, I just read what I've written so far, and now I'm the one feeling ashamed. In my defense, the next 5 times* were much less confusing... And I figured out R+L=J without help from the internet during my 2nd go at AGoT. That's gotta count for something! * Technically, I've only read ADWD twice so far, but I'm currently on the third pass, using STC's Feast-Dance combined reading order (the version that's friendly to new readers). Mostly getting everything now, but I'm admittedly still occasionally suffering the odd bout of minor Harzoo confusion... |

I'm still not 100 percent sure what a mummer is. It's an actor, right? Or someone is a travelling acting/entertaining troupe, something like that? |

Not if you are talking about The Bloody Mummers! But otherwise, yes. In ASoIaF, a mummer is an actor. But in the real world: mum·mer Noun 1.An actor in a traditional masked mime, esp. of a type associated with Christmas and popular in England in the 18th and early 19th centuries. 2.A pantomimist. Apparently they are mimes. Wow, that makes Varys creepier than I ever realized! "Do you lie awake at night fearing my figgy pudding?" (swishes out the door) |
