What’s your favourite swear word created for fiction? Are your coworkers a bunch of frakking smegheads? Can your enemies go drokk themselves?
One of my favourites is “cuss,” from “The Fantastic Mr Fox.” What’s yours?

I still use shazbot from Mork & Mindy. Just strikes the right note for me.

Negativland has an ongoing running joke regarding Mertz (which is mainly “advertised” as a brain-shaped “mental supplement”) but someone called into their radio show once and said “Oh, mertz!” when voicing displeasure with something. I’ve used it ever since hearing it for the first time.

I like groaning out a “KRIMINEY DUTCH” whenever things don’t go my way. Which is very often.

That word can mean anything, even highly offensive stuff!

Shazbot is good. So is smeghead. Puckernuts from ElfQuest! Belgium from HHG (American editions anyway - I understand this joke is absent from British eds. because they weren’t squeamish about just saying f***?).

Do you think Mork’s shazbot and Rygel XVI’s farbot are related?
