WoMon:The World of WoMon's Cultures

Human Societies in WoMon tend to be Combative cultures, except then you are interacting with inferiors and a teacher with their students and parents with their children. In which case they are Nurture cultures.

Treating someone that isn't you inferior or student in the manner of a Nurture culture is either the ultimate insult if it viewed as saying you're crap compared to me. Or a deep show of closeness if it viewed as saying, "You are like my child"

Like the Irish, people in WoMon practice slagging with their friends and is considered a sign of a respect. It is seen as saying "not matter how hard I try, my attacks against your psyche are futile" or "See how unable I am to defend myself against you. I'm completely at your mercy please be gentle on me." and when to slag them back it's saying, "You're as my mercy? Look at how feeble my attacks are against you!"
