Daughter: What's a Dovahkiin?

Mother: Well honey, when a Dragon and a Nord love each other very much...
In the world of the Elder Scrolls, a Dovahkiin is a legendary warrior with the body of a mortal and the soul of a dragon. They are capable of absorbing the souls of slain dragons and using them to increase their own power.

The word "Dovahkiin" comes from Dovahzul (the dragon language. "Dovah" means "dragon", "Ah" means "hunter", and "Kiin" means "born", so "Dovahkiin" could be translated as "Dragon Hunter Born".
"But there is one they fear. In their tongue, he is Dovahkiin...Dragonborn!"

Dovahkiin is the word dragon-born in dragon tongue, it is used in the elder scrolls games, as a myth or legend until in "The elder scrolls IV - oblivion" where you help the dovahkiin, in "the elder scrolls V - skyrim" you ARE the dovahkiin.

The only NPC(s) that use the word dovahkiin instead of "dragon-born" are:
The greybeards, paartharax, mirmulnir (this is the first dragon you fight, they say "noooooooo, dovahkiin!" When defeated, so that is why it counts) and Alduin, the main terror in skyrim's main quest.

Dovahkiins are naturally skilled in using shouts (or in the dragon tongue, thu'ums) such as:
Unrelenting force, fire breath, become ethereal and my personal favorite, slow time. Shouts are made up of 3 words of power that are in the dragon tongue.
Dovahkiin, dovahkiin naal ok zin los vahriin, way Dein vokul mafaeraak ahst Vaal!

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
