Isei — said by a winner to dismiss the contest as having cost them nothing.
Notes
The winner’s insult, and the only one of its kind. It does not say the loser fought badly. It says the winner was never troubled, which is worse.
Crude everywhere and near unforgivable in Shining Reach and Clearhold, where the whole point of a contest is that both parties were tested. Common in the Iron Coves, where it is half a compliment.
