 Yivalese is built on metaphors. Death, violence, and lying are taboo, so locals use colorful imagery instead.
+Language around sex, bodily function and otherwise are not seen as taboo on its hand, so it is very common for people to approach said subjects without minding much the other person's bubble, which can be pretty off-putting for folks coming from further south or from the growing Western Empire.
