-->The field commander of the Kolstec Fortieth was a man named Forwegg Fofobris. The Fortieth
was a fine bunch of experienced heavy infantry, packing some serious crew-served support pieces,
which would be useful come noon. However, Fofobris had come across as a bit of a blowhard to
Wilder in the brief encounters they’d had. Baskevyl and Wilder had taken to referring to Fofobris as “Foofoo Frigwig”, which was a bad habit, because it was all to easy to slip and call a man by his nickname to his face. The pair of them had once developed the name “Jonny Frigging Glareglasses” in reference to a archly posing Volpone officer they’d had to deal with on Khan III. When Wilder had called the man that by accident during a briefing, he’d been challenged to an honour duel.

** Frigwig.

to:

** Frigwig.The field commander of the Kolstec Fortieth, Forwegg Fofobris. Apparently enough of a blowhard for Colonel Wilder and Captain Baskevyl to dub him Foofoo Frigwig. The entire section is gutbustingly funny.

-->He’d got out of it, thanks to Van Voytz. A formal apology and a case of amasec. Funny thing was, Baskevyl, who usually coined these derogatory terms, never slipped. It was always Wilder. Wilder wondered if Baskevyl had a nickname for him too.
-->Most probably.
-->Foofoo Frigwig came on the line. “Wilder, is that you, sir?”
-->Wilder suddenly got a fit of the giggles. He remembered a moment in the post 36 billets, several nights earlier, when Gol Kolea and Ban Daur had introduced the Belladon officer cadre to the mysteries of homebrewed sacra. A Tanith tipple, evidently. One sip made you smile like a lovely bastard. It was during that little session that Baskevyl had come up with the name “Foofoo Frigwig”, adding that the “foofirst class arsehole” was in command of the “Kolstuck Foofortieth” fighting “foofor the Golden fooFrigging Throne.”
-->Ah well, it had been foofrigging funny at the time, and such childish humour had a habit of sticking in places where it was no longer funny or appropriate. Unless you’d been there...
-->...“What’s the matter with this link, man? It sounds like you’re giggling.”
-->Wilder covered the vox horn and looked at the comms officer. “Slap me real hard, Keshlan.”...
-->..Fooforty minutes. Really, still funny.

* Shortly after [[DeadpanSnarker Feygor]] gets an augmentic voice box that makes everything he says sound sarcastic, someone suggests that from now on he should raise a hand to let people know whenever he's actually being sarcastic. Feygor's reponse: "Oh, that's a good idea." {{Beat}} *Raises his hand*
* In ''His Last Command'', Ezrah doesn't get why Ayatani Zweil is bugging him... so he looks at Gaunt and asks if he can kill the man.

commander, mentioned in ''Necropolis'':

and asks if he can kill the man.[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a son of a bitch.]]"''



* In "Sabbat Martyr" Rawne, Banda and Feygor are arguing whether or not [[spoiler:Saint Sabbat]] is staring at them in particular, Banda says it has to be Rawne because:
--> "The major's sex on legs, real catnip for us womenfolk"
* The following exchange between Rawne and Wilder:
--> '''Wilder:''' [[BuffySpeak "Rawne. I couldn't feel much more undermined if you ... if you got hold of a frigging land mine and ... and put me under it."]]
--> '''Rawne:''' "That probably sounded better in your head, didn't it?"
--> '''Wilder:''' "Yes. Really, much, much better."
* When the events of ''Blood Pact'' cause Gaunt to make an unscheduled and incognito visit to the museum of the fallen Tower of the Plutocrat on Balhaut, he finds there are several chapels dedicated to the heroes that died taking it. His reaction on finding on dedicated to Commissar Ibram Gaunt of the Hyrkan 8th is priceless, and all the more funny that neither he nor his party can correct the mistake...
* Meryn's beatdown in the medical clinic in ''Salvation's Reach'' after he [[DirtyCoward proves to be too cowardly to shoot the assassin holding Yoncy hostage]]. [[MamaBear Tona Criid]] goes after him first, only to get pulled off him by Gol Kolea and Major Rawne. Meryn starts demanding that Cridd be put up on charges while calling Captain Daur's fiance Elodie a "bitch" for apparently reporting his cowardice. Kolea pulls Cridd all the way off Meryn, and then tells him that he only did it so she'd be out of the way, and then [[PapaWolf decks Meryn with a punch of his own]]. Commissar Hark walks into the clinic and demands to know what happened, and while Meryn is demanding Kolea and Cridd be put up on charges, everyone present admits they have no idea what happened and saw nothing. Hark gets ready to dismiss the entire thing, when Ban Daur rolls up and punches Meryn in the face for calling Elodie a bitch, then says that they're done.



* In ''Blood Pact'', Mabbon (a defector from the main Chaos force the Ghosts have been fighting for years now) and Gaunt have this exchange when the latter is helping the former keep running from both Blood Pact and the Inquisition after an old wound reopens.
--> '''Gaunt:''' Not far now, magir.
--> '''Mabbon:''' You're a good man, Gaunt.
--> '''Gaunt:''' If they take us, please don't say that to anyone. Tell them I'm your sworn enemy.
* "Sabbat Martyr" [[HospitalHottie Curth]] telling [[ColonelBadass Gaunt]] she'll only do him a favor because he's so good in bed. In front of the whole regiment.
** It backfires on her though as the regiment stares at her as if she's serious, making her retort that it was a joke irritatedly. Though that reaction alone is also hilarious, as everyone in earshot (which, as they're getting off their landers, is most of the regiment) immediately believes it. A few slack jaws and a couple dropped kitbags are mentioned.
** [[spoiler:The joke goes sideways later on when Curth reveals to Gaunt in ''Salvation's Reach'' she'd been pining over him for years.]]
