Sticks and stones...
Yesterday a player on the WoW forums pointed out that the Warrior skill Demoralizing Shout would be interesting to see in action. According to Undamian's interpretation, essentially, the skill involves insulting your opponents to throw them off balance in combat. Taunt, Challenging Shout, Piercing Howl and Intimidating Shout could also be viewed in a like manner. Unlike similar skills in other classes, warriors aren't considered magic users, so they must have an extensive vocabulary and a lot of creativity in order to affect their foes with mere words and body language.The original poster's idea, of course, led to a slew of suggestions as to what it is that warrior's actually say when they use these abilities. Community Manager Nethaera even proffered a suggestion, and as the thread progressed, other skills, such as Commanding and Battle Shout were included. Some players even posted catch phrases that they have bound to their abilities in game via macros. What do you imagine your character would say when using these skills? Please keep it clean.

Don't use macros, use AnnoyRP! ( http://downloads.curse.com/details/5247/ ) It lets you randomly select bits of speech to use whenever you activate a power, and it means you don't lose your tooltip when you mouseover the button.

Or, y'know, just not use a mod that hasn't been updated in nine months, and change your macros to use #showtooltip [Ability] as the first line so you don't lose the tooltip. :)
I play a gnome warrior, so I always imagine his taunt is something like "It's sad to see that you can't even squish a little gnome" or something along those lines. Naturally, Battle Shout is "FOR GNOMEREGAN!" and then everyone gets all angry because they can't stand that instance, and it gets their blood boiling and pumps their AP.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Or that.
(Yes, I fail. Brian wins so hard.)
Can you set up macros so that it randomises comments too? I'd like to use a few different insults if I could.
