Errol Tracey was a ne'er-do-well, a drunkard, and a lout. He spent his days beating people up for money and spent his nights, more often then not, in a pool of his own sick. This all changed the day that Master Uroki came into town; a foot shorter than anyone else, white haired, wearing odd orange robes, the little man stood out like a barbarian in a string quartet. Master Uroki sat down at the town's public house and ordered a pot of tea, a bowl of rice, and a piece of fried fish. He ate his meal quietly and thanked the bar keep for the fine meal. As Master Uroki stood and turned to leave he was face to navel with Errol Tracey, the undisputed monster of the pub. 'You're a funny lookin' little runt ain'tcha?'

You all know where this tale ends, the pub gained a large hole in one exterior wall, Errol learned a valuable lesson in both respect and leverage, and Master Uroki gained a pupil. The next ten years Uroki and Errol traveled the land, helping those in need and doing what good they could. Eventually they parted ways, Errol having learned everything he could from the little man. Errol continued to wander, continue to help and fight and do the things that made him feel like a hero instead of like a bully.

So that's the backstory, Errol is full of helpful, informative phrases learned or partially learned from his Master. I'd like everyone's help filling out the list. I'll give a few examples to get things rolling...
