They have little contact with other Mandalorians and view them as dar'manda for not following the Way.

Death Watch (n.) - Mandalorian extremists who believe that Mandalore must return to the days of the Ancient Crusaders and return to glory by violent expansion and full-scale warfare. They actively strike out against the New Mandalorian regime and sought to eliminate any group ho did not conform to their highly radical views, including other less extreme Mandalorian traditionalists.

Deece (n.) - a slang term for the DC-series of blaster rifles

Dha Werda Verda (n.) - A Mandalorian war chant, lit. "Warriors of the Shadow" and colloquially called "Rage of the Shadow Warriors". This chant was also taught to the Commandos in a modified form with some of the lyrics being changed to better reflect their role in the Republic. The chant was accompanied by a dance that involved the warriors pounding on one another's chest pieces, striking their own armor, various arm gestures, and powerful stances to invigorate and inspire troops before or after battle. This is also the name of a Mandalorian epic poem from which the chant was derived speaking of the Taung triumph over the Zhell.
