Sci-fi swear words?

[Phil]

Age of Empires does have "Ahh, smite me!" And HM Murdock of the A-Team often called BA Barracus an "ugly mudsucker."

Reminds me of a spoof by British comic Harry Enfield (pseudowikipedia entry: Sketch comedian, funny in the 90s, not thereafter). At the time, the BBC used to voice over objectionable language in films, and he provided an interpretation of how they might present Goodfellas, along the lines of:

"You fun my wife?"
"I fun your wife!"
"Suck my cake, you cake sucker"
"Kiss my knees, muddy funster"

A big part of the humour being that the speech was in broad NY accent (or bad British impression thereof!) but the replaced word was provided in the crispest, 'proper' BBC English.

In The Fifth Element, one of the characters uses the phrase "Smoke you!" when confronted by a cop.

[HeroPink!]

Well, if we're gonna use acrostics, we might as well add Bend Over! Here It Comes Again! (or BOHICA, for short) From Negation

Uh-uh.
Bend
Over

Not swearing 'zactly, but "mucker" from Stand...
Stand...
Oh no I can't remember! I feel so BLONDE!


And "simpleton" is used interestingly in A Canticle for Liebowitz.

Stand...

Stand On Zanzibar.

Which also gives us "slotting bleeder."

"Om take it!" is in one of the Diskworld books; I forget which.

[Tiree]

okay, but you gotta get me a bucket of steam

i'll see you after liberty call with those batteries, they might take all day to find

I'll get you that steam, but I need some Brake Light Fluid and some Spark Plugs for that HMMWV.

Heinlein uses "fraki" in Citizen of the Galaxy. It is a "harmless, rather repulsive little animal", but it is used as "stranger", in a dirogatory manner. It's not really a curse word, but it is an insult.

[Michael Hopcroft]

"Beligum! That's so Un-Hoopy!"

[Citizen Keen]

I'm such a horrible reader. I got really excited about a post about "Sci-Fi Wear Swords?"

Now that I think about it...

[SCUBA Hero]

Robert Heinlein, in 'Friday' and possibly others:

Slitch

Used in a sentence, "That sleasy slitch has locked some of the files."

I assume it's a combination of two derogatory words, both of which are probably verboten here.

Don't for get the chow line and prop wash while you're at it.

[McCoy]

While you're getting those spark plugs, can you see if they have an extra clutch pedal? Mine's missing one.

"Beligum! That's so Un-Hoopy!"

"Oh, Grot!" from Quark (You must be at least 30 to remember this)

"Belgium"

Keith "Washing my mouth out with space soap" Curtis

Oh drek, I forgot all about Belgium!

Of course, RA Salvatore wrote my favorite curse in The Crystal Shard. When translated, it means, "May the fleas of a thousand reindeer nest in your genitals."

Thanks for the links and suggestions, all!

I am aghast that the board moderators would allow such expansive use of the "B" word

With that said, I'll get back to reading The Collected Works of the Great Volron Poets (2,354.33333 pgs, Snootcourt and Quadriday Intergalactic Press)

[dbsousa]

"Oh, Grot!" from Quark (You must be at least 30 to remember this)
"Felgercarb" from the original Battlestar Galactica
"Shazbot" was indeed from Mork and Mindy
"Droog", "Ultra-V" from Clockwork Orange (Not really swear words, I guess)
"Tanj!" From Known Space
"Swut, "Foonting Turlingdrome", "jujuflop", from Hitchhikers Guide. And the very worst of the lot:


"Belgium"


Keith "Washing my mouth out with space soap" Curtis

Droog is Russian for friend, as in: "I was hangin' out wif my droogs the other day..."

David "learned it from my future children" Sousa

[keithcurtis]

Now that you say that, it occurs that I've been told that before. Memory like a steel seive!
I just did a web search on it and found an interesting article on "Nadsat", the fictional teenspeak of A Clockwork Orange. Here it is, for anyone who's interested.

Keith "Bezoomy Nazz" Curtis

[Captain Obvious]

Well, every time I think of Nadsat, I then think of Newspeak. Although there's not much in the way of swear words there, except maybe "thought criminal"....
