Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

I've unconciously switched to sci-fi swearing almost exlusively.

I was tickled to notice that I yelled "Frak!" last night when... something happened - forgot something in the oven, I think. But I think it was only because I'd just downloaded a "frak" icon. Still, it was fun.

Your tag here.

The Breakfast Club had "hot beef injection" replaced with "hot love and affection."

My favorite was "Stuff you, man! Stuff you!".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sixteen Candles, Jake Ryan on the phone with Sam's grandparents: "Oh, hug me."

If I only had a brain...

Frell is REALLY satisfying. I think it's the "fr" combined with the similarity to "hell".

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I auto-censor around my parents, my editor in chief (who reminds me of my parents), and anyone who looks like they are past retirement age. Auto-censoring tends to be a mix of the standard "darn" and "drat" with SFisms, such as "frelling."

"Frelling" really works for me. (Er, well, yeah--I think I'll just leave that out there. Anyway.) I think it's because it feels like a combo of "fucking" and "hell". Or maybe "frigging" and "hell." Which may be how they powers that create came up with it.

ETA: another frelling cross post.

Jake. My first and best car was named after him.

(And I know I've posted that before, so I am all about keeping with the thread title)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I do like frak. I think I forget it's not really swearing, sometimes.

I think Eliot has been saying it on Scrubs since before the current BSG, though.

(who let fly with her first "fuck" a couple of weeks ago after her mom couldn't keep herself from yelling at other drivers on the way to the Children's Museum)

It must be a two-year-old mimicry thing. My nephew did that just recently, to his grandmother.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I say "Curses!" a fair amount now. Covers work and anything I may say loudly at krav. And "Fothermucker!" but that's not really like hiding anything.

I don't think F/X will show anything, or Dennis Leary was showing restraint -- their most profanity ridden ep lacked both cunt and nigger, IIRC.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I say "Curses!" a fair amount now.

That's a delightful image to have in my head. A very cross ita saying "Curses!"

I also say "Curses!", and "Bother!" I've apparently started using "squalling" to replace "fucking" (thanks to reading the Hopeless Savages comics).
