      My dad pronounced it war-easy. Some time later I played Morrowind and, well… “Khajit has warez if you have coin”

        I always thought it was warez as in “wears”. My understanding is it was short for “softwares” or something. Take the end, add a dash of 1337sp34k and you get warez.

        Maybe I’m wrong.
