Longear, Jawdragger, Newtlord, Neckbiter.

These are four words that are completely unnacceptable to use, unless you happen to be an Elf, or an Orc, or a Dragon, or a vampire respectively! This isn't even "Medieval Behaviour 101", this is fucking remedial!

Is there a canonical/widely accepted dictionary of terms, words, and phrases in D&D languages? I wanted to name a character "Violent Idiot" in Undercommon or Draconic, but none of the sources I could find had either words. I'd make up my own language, but I'd like this to be a joke that only dangerously obsessive people will get so I know who to stay away from, not a joke that I'll have to explain to the reader later.

I don't have to justify myself to you. Lol.

I found this

Violent Idiot seems to translate into "iill malai"

Here it is for Drow

Ssissill mal'ai

Huh. I never knew that people actually have communities for writing their fantasy languages down... Quick sidenote, drow have some bizarre-ass hipbones.

Ssissil Mal'ai (Undercommon) or Iil Malai (Draconic).

Ha! Yeah, I don't speak Undercommon or Draconic... though I do know where to find the vocabulary. You should also keep an eye out for the homonyms "hoard" and "horde." Lest you become a tasty crunchy snack food. ^_~

This homophone error, I can actually get behind.

Same.

I can't tell you how many times I've lied in the dirt with my mouth open, waiting for some small rodent to use me as a burrow. I mean, not that I eat small rodents anymore. Vegefox out.

How does a fox not eat small rodents!? Do you spend all day trying to digest celery and shit like the Pandas? I can understand humans doing it... But motherfucking Pandas, Jesus Christ!

Goddamn Pandas! They're a disgrace to Bearkind! They're fat, lazy fucks, completely unemployed, they eat their mom's shit when they're younger because they're deviant as fuck, they aren't Japanese, but they (and the ignorant fucks around them) often like to pretend that they are, they support a large quantity of weird Asian shit, they spend all fucking day sitting around stuffing their goddamn Panda-ass faces with shit their digestive system wasn't built for, they never fuck. If they do, it's very shitty, with another of their number, and possibly even one of their relatives. And a group of them is either called a "Con" or an "embarrassment"! They are literally the goddamn Weeaboos of the Bear world! THEY ARE A WALKING DISPRAY OF BEARMANITY AT ITS SHITTIEST! Don't ever go full Panda, James. You may be a vegetarian for your own personal reasons, but if it becomes a species I will be very disappointed... Agh, shit...
