"A mortal is a mortal..."

  • interjection The philosophy that wiz mortals should be treated in exactly the same manner as mortal mortals. It is usually invoked when a wiz mortal has done something wrong which a normal mortal would have been let off punishment for, but which a player who has a wiz ought to know better about. The phrase is more properly used when wizzes who are playing as mortals claim they should get special treatment because they're wizzes, eg. not being hassled by other wizzes. In full, the phrase is "a mortal is a mortal is a mortal", but the final is a mortal is rarely inserted. Mainly used in BL, almost always quoted.
