Evicious Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 "Frak" or "Fracking", Battlestar Galactica "Gods" - Generic pantheistic version of the monotheistic expletive. "Light" - often used in place of "God" throughout Jordan Robert's Wheel of Time series. Comprehensive list I googled and am now reading obsessively. ;-) Quote Evicious, Khajjit Ranger STR 7 | DEX 13 | STA 3 | CON 6 | WIS 16 | CHA 4 Current 4WC: Evicious: The Unburdening II + Blitz Week!

Jedrik Serpenthelm Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 "Blood and bloody ashes." Matrim Cauthon, Wheel of Time "Pocking." More specifically, Julio Poertena's "pick pocking wrench" (bf wrench )from the Empire of man series by Weber and Ringo. "Malediction." I know it's not a swear word, but I love malediction cigarettes from Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim series. Maledictions are cigarettes from hell that taste like a tire fire in a candy factory next door to a strip club. 2 Quote “I cannot lift this.†Ahmed ibn Fahdlan having been give a sword.“Grow stronger!†Herger the Joyous Specialization is for insects.

Lalie Fanyarendil Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 "Sithspawn!" Somehow it's far more satisfying than "sithspit." And I argue that Star Wars is a sci-fantasy so it should count!

Lalie Fanyarendil Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 That's a good point. I'd always assumed that it was sith-spit. Like, as in ptooey. But sith's-pits would be FAR more evil. (And probably an effective way to weed out the weak apprentices. You will never be strong enough to control others if you cannot control your own urge to plug your nose!)

Zardoz Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Asimov's Foundation Trilogy has such adorably endearing swearing. "Space!" is the general catch-all, but you know things are going down when someone yells "Galaxy!" Quote Questing!Current / 1 Link to comment
Shortgorilla Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 We should probably add everything Robin ever said to Batman to the list as well. 2 Quote PVP Challenge (Deadlift and OHP): http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/69895-shorts-race-for-the-big-two-ongoing-challenge/ My Battle Log: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/44606-shortgorilla-is-fat/ Link to comment

DarK_RaideR Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 "(bull)drek" from ShadowRun is probably my favourite, especially in phrases like "when the drek hits the fan" "Crom" - among it's other uses, Conan also used this as a curse or battlecry. Especially the old Conan comics have some really creative curse phrases in 'em. Bonus stuff: "Your mother sucks dwarf cock" - a staple curse in The Witcher "I'm gonna wear your guts for garters" was so wrong and funny for a curse/taunt. Laughed so hard I can't remember if it was said by a Chaos Warrior or an Ork in Warhammer While we're at taunts, who could forget insult sword fighting... 1 Quote Lvl 60 Multitasker Baking (2)🧁, Charisma (4)🕶️s, Cooking (7)🍳, Fitness (2)💪💪, Gourmet Cooking (3), Handiness (0), Media Production (6)🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬, Mixology (3)🍸, Research & Debate (1)📖, Video Gaming (3)🎮🎮, Wellness (2) Link to comment
Shortgorilla Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Reading an Erin M. Evans book that has a host of new swears for me. I will try to write them down as I come across them.

DarthSnuggles Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 "Flames!" and "Andraste's tits!" were favorites from the Dragon Age games. I think the best, though, was Oghren's disgusted mutter of "Thunder-humper" when you removed him from your active party. Quote Dwarven Adventurer, level 0. "We stand upon the precipice of change. The world fears the inevitable plummet into the abyss. Watch for that moment... and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you fall that you learn whether you can fly." (Flemeth, Dragon Age II) Target Weight: 200lbs | Starting Weight: 262lbs | Current Weight: 253lbs I'm all about that bass. Link to comment
