A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

What's your favorite made-up SF swearword?
Smeg. Although I never use it myself. "Frak" is good, but maybe sounds too close to "fuck."
Outside of SF, my favorite made-up swearword is from
Beavis and Butthead:
"butt dumpling."
Or from
South Park:
"Ass spelunker."
What's your favorite made-up SF swearword?
I don't think it originated there, but I always liked MST3K's use of "dickweed".
"Felgercarb"!
No, not really. I use frell all the time.
Conversation Tuesday night:
Me: "It's 90 damn degrees again."
Daughter: "Language, Mom."
Me: "Okay, it's 90 frelling degrees again."
Daughter: "Geekishness, Mom."

gotta go with frell.
hee! to Betsy and Betsy!Mom's exchange.

See that one almost works (fear causing dry mouth and all), but you start exploring other options like "you're full of spit", "spithead", "bullspit" or "eat spit and die", and it gets frelling hilarious.
