This page lists curses, phrases, and sayings used by people on the different worlds of the cosmere and beyond, as well as, where known, their meanings. I would eventually like to put this information on the individual world pages. Feel free to edit this page and add any more you know of.

For those who want to help: as a general rule, if there exists a page for that word/phrase in this usage (or it should exist but doesn't) then it does not belong on this list. This would not exclude things like Stormfather! since in that usage it is not referring to the stormfather himself rather it is simply referring to the common exclamation.
