Furthering on the subject of NPCs...
Not everyone will call something the same thing!
What may be called the White Shadowspaghetti in one area may be called Grey Wigglemagoo in the next town over!
Also, not everyone will understand your language. Perhaps making up a new language could be in order?
Oh, and SLANG!
Making up some slang for different towns could be a fun thing to do
And perhaps weird quotes on a character would add a little humor!
I know one of my characters will say weird lines, like:
"Today's future is tomorrow's past!"
"I hope you had your breakfast, 'Cuz you're about to be LUNCHED ON!"
and other such gems.
Making some stuff up, or modifying an already-set phrase adds character to characters!
...CHARACTER.
(Have I said "character" enough? )
