cman: Smeg is only #2?

WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!?!?

Beat me to it.

What the smegging smeg?

I'm with those who say "nerf herder" is meant to be an insult, not a profanity. For Star Wars profanities, I always enjoyed "stang" or "sithspit."

Of course that depends on your stance of the EU.

Umm...

What about the Hitchhikers classic Zarking Fardwarks....

Shards!

Edymnion: RoyFokker'sGhost: Also, if the pseudo Russian from Clockwork Orange made it in, why not the awesome Chinese swearing in Firefly/Serenity, gorrammit?

They said at the beginning of TFA that the Firefly chinese swears were not being included because they already did an entire article on just that, ya frelling smeghead. =P

Fine but what about Ruttin and Humped.

JackDecoeurs: Only Sci-fi? Noy Jitat!
/obscure?

Jungo Lungo!

Nothing is obscure on fark,

Zaphod: Belgium, man! BELGIUM!

We are not on this list. This is unacceptable. MEP!!!

Stile4aly: JackDecoeurs: Only Sci-fi? Noy Jitat!
/obscure?

Jungo Lungo!

Nothing is obscure on fark,

Came in to say these...glad they're already covered...

Bah, useless stravag list and this thread is filled with surats.

Rwa2play: Wow, no mention of "mewling quim"? FAIL.

Neither "mewling" nor "quim" is a made up word.

miniflea: Tanj dammit, everything is from tv or movies.

Currently reading that for the first time so I'm getting a kick

"Frak" and its ilk are obscenity (sex/excretory (sexcretory!) functions).
"Gorram" and suchlike are profanity (implication of Divine Wrath).
Know the difference so you can be pedantic about it!

Bonanza Jellybean: Gorram rutting go-se, that list is.

That

Rwa2play: Stile4aly: Rwa2play: Wow, no mention of "mewling quim"? FAIL.

Neither "mewling" nor "quim" is a made up word.

But it is a profanity, which would qualify.

The article is about pretend swearing. It does not qualify because it is real swearing.

Rwa2play: Stile4aly: Rwa2play: Wow, no mention of "mewling quim"? FAIL.

Neither "mewling" nor "quim" is a made up word.

But it is a profanity, which would qualify.

The list is populated entirely with made up profanity, but you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

I use frell somewhat infrequently in my life, and am always surprised no one ever gives me a perplexed look.

Of course, they never give it a second thought when I say 'gravy' instead of 'groovy' either, so perhaps most just assume I have a speech impediment.

olapbill: i'm just gonna sit down over here and wait for the browncoats to show up...

Goram list is a piece of gos se

I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle.

What about Slag from Transformers?

What's all this Felgercarb?

Stile4aly: Rwa2play: Wow, no mention of "mewling quim"? FAIL.

Neither "mewling" nor "quim" is a made up word.

All word are made up.

Mr. Eugenides: List fails without Belgium.

Any Pie Left: "Belgium!"

xalres: Mr. Eugenides: List fails without Belgium.

My thoughts exactly.

Foonting turlingdromes, the lot of 'em.

OK, that leaves swut & juju-flop to me. I'll rend the listmaker in the gobberworts with my blurglecruncheon for his omissions, see if I don't!

Professor Science: xalres: Mr. Eugenides: List fails without Belgium.

My thoughts exactly.

Foonting turlingdromes, the lot of 'em.

Indeed. A blurglecruncheon to their gobberwarts, I say.

Crap.

Jim_Callahan:
//"Frack" was clearly just so that "fark" could be easily white-outed and substituted on a script with a mono-spaced font, not terribly creative at all. Frell was a slightly better joke since it actually had a divergent meaning and sound.
This

You people just enjoy taunting me, don't you?

Only a vaRool would use such language in public.

Gordon Bennett, what are you lot on about now?!

mamoru: Wait wait wait. Did Leia actually say "nerf herder"? As in, is that the text in the script?

Because I always thought she was just saying "nerve hurter", which yes is a lame insult, but at least actually makes sense. :-/

/is this one of those "that's the joke" moments?

No, she actually said nerf herder. Hell in the Star Wars MMO you actually come across wild nerfs on some planets. Think buffalo crossed with a mammoth. (at least if I remember correctly. Stopped playing months ago.)

At least I am not a dirty shizno

I just looked up something on Urbandictionary....So these people using gorram are aping Firefly?

All this time I thought they were trying to mimic some kilted sheep-f*cker saying "goddamn".
/gormless wonders, the lot of you.

Bonanza Jellybean: Gorram rutting go-se, that list is.

Upstate NY and a Firefly reference? That earns you a nice shade of favorite green!

Frell is the only one on that list I've actually used in day to day life. It rolls off the tongue quite nicely.


Smeg on the other hand, I thought was just a shortening of Smegma. Which I suppose is on par with calling someone a quivering pile of santorum.

Terry Pratchett always had a colorful vocab but nothing pops up in my mind.

Eddie T. Head: I'm with those who say "nerf herder" is meant to be an insult, not a profanity. For Star Wars profanities, I always enjoyed "stang" or "sithspit."

Of course that depends on your stance of the EU.

EU = A thousand fanfic writers that all get instant canon status as long as they can find some publisher desperate enough to actually print their smeg.

No swearing in Chinese?

And frankly after watching Quantum Leap.... "Oh Boy!" counts.

ZombieApocalypseKitten: No swearing in Chinese?


太空所有的星球塞盡我的屁股

Slives: Knew 'frak' was going to be #1 before even clicking on the link. Personally I think it was so overused that it lost its value.

Loved seeing nerf-herder on there.

Agreed, I think Drokk was a lot more evocative and a lot less on-the-nose.

The Fark Filter: You people just enjoy taunting me, don't you?

Yes we do, dear!

I'm partial to Gurney Halleck's "Gods below!" from Dune (the books, anyway).

While lacking the shock value of "God damnit!", it's something I can say in front of the rampant Baptist busybodies in this state, and it actually cuts them a little deeper.

It's no "Frak!" or "Gorrammit!", but it's something they can grok, and I derive a sublime pleasure from reducing their deity to an attention-starved bratty child without actually blaspheming.
