Drokk! It's A Sneckin' SF Swearing Thread, Gorram It!

[Scissorjack]

What the tanj?

[Oakminster]

Frak that.

[Stranger On A Train]

Does the gratuitious use of the word "belgium" count?

[sciguy]

Go bleep yourself!

[want2know]

Go bleep yourself!

Along with the rest of you fargin' bastiges and iceholes!

[RealityChuck]

What the frast are you talking about?

[Hostile Dialect]

I had a malenky bit of a smeck at this thread title, O my brothers.

[BrainGlutton]

Sondthat-begotten flup!

[Biffy the Elephant Shrew]

Sheeting hole, this thread isn't worth a pint of whaledreck!

[Lightnin']

Frell this.

[pinkfreud]

What in the name of zarking fardwarks are you turlingdromes up to?

[Der Trihs]

Eat drakh ! Your mother had no beard, and your father had no buttocks ! Motherpokker !

[Scissorjack]

Now how about some sources? From the thread title, "Drokk!" is Judge Dredd's favourite expletive, and "Sneck!" is from Strontium Dog, another 2000AD strip. Tanj of course is from Larry Niven, an acronym of "There ain't no justice."

[Kamino Neko]

Grife! Sprock this nass. I'm out of here, you Grok-bokkers.

[silenus]

This thread is a bunch of felgercarb.

[Kamino Neko]

Now how about some sources?

If you insist.... All mine are from DC comics - Grife is a general expletive in Legion of Superheroes, starting with Giffen's run. Sprock and nass are also from LSH - more or less equivelant in usage to fuck and shit respectively (although their actual definitions are unclear). Grok-bokker (other variants include grok-bokking) is an apparently Cairnian expletive, from L.E.G.I.O.N., which has a vaguely blasphemous feel, as Grok is used in ways that suggest a deity.

[NoCoolUserName]

By Klono's own gadolinium guts, you scum will be eaten by Noshabkeming the Radiant!

Or maybe by Holy—Klono's—Iridium—Intestines!











The Lensman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lensman) series by E.E. "Doc" Smith

[Saltire]

How is it that I'm the first smeggin' smeghead to bring up "Smeg"?

*Red Dwarf, as if you needed me to tell you.

[Der Trihs]

Now how about some sources?"Drakh" ( excrement ) and "Your mother had no beard, and your father had no buttocks" ( a Bhor insult ) are from the Sten scifi/adventure series. "Motherpokker" ( Motherfucker ) is from the Empire of Man series by David Weber & John Ringo.

[GuanoLad]

From the thread title, "Drokk!" is Judge Dredd's favourite expletive
He used to like "Stomm!" for a while. But now it's as dead as der cucumber.

[RealityChuck]

"Frast" is from the novel Staroamer's Fate

;)

[Left Hand of Dorkness]

Maybe you berks'll latch the bonebox for a spell and hark some cant? On second thought, bar that--you addle-coves think there's more out there than Planescape, with your "Red Dwarf" and "Klingons." Buncha barmies.

Never heard of it, is it any good? Who wrote it?






















;)

[Argent Towers]

Now how about some sources?

"Gorram" is from Firefly. I always assumed it was a contraction of "goddamn," but I may be wrong.

[Biffy the Elephant Shrew]

All mine are from DC comics
What a poozer.

"Sheeting hole" and "whaledreck" are from John Brunner's Stand on Zanzibar.

[Civil Guy]

Not SF, but I've always been impressed by "Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!" out of Watership Down. Translated out of the original Rabbit, it's pretty strong language for what's basically a cutesy kid's story. (A very good kid's story, but even so.)

From the glossary given in the book, it translates exactly as "Forage droppings, you odiferous leader!
or, in the common language,
"Eat shit, you stinking tyrant!"

[Scissorjack]

He used to like "Stomm!" for a while. But now it's as dead as der cucumber.

And "Grud!". My favourite 2000AD expletive, though, was always Robohunter's "Snut!" - which Alan Grant was forbidden to use by the publishers because it sounded too much like a real obscenity.

[Hunter Hawk]

Ferkit!


(From a bunch of annoying aliens in Moorcock's Dancers at the End of Time series.)

[Scissorjack]

By Klono's own gadolinium guts, you scum will be eaten by Noshabkeming the Radiant!

QX.

[An Gadaí]

Bastiche is one I recall from Judge Dredd many a moon ago.

[Alessan]

Let's see if I get this right...

Abro hakmo astab!

[Largo62]

Amazing! And I thought Ebonics was confusing! :eek:

[Autolycus]

You cannot pass, flame of Udun!

Wait that's not SF.... shit.. ok think fast... Fuck I cant think of anything.

Well so long, and thanks for all the fish.

[Scissorjack]

"Crutting glub!" is from Cordwainer Smith's Norstrilia. And of course there's Doctor Lazarus' oath from Galaxy Quest, usually muttered grudgingly by Alan Rickman: "By Grabthar's hammer! By the suns of Warvan!" Never have I seen such savings.

[MrDibble]

Mu Zein Wallah!

Love this bit of Dune lingo with the "reflexive ending"- "No good, never good, good for nothing!"

Noy Jitat!
From obscure H-B series The Pirates of Darkwater. Man, I loved that show...

[Encinitas]

Great Ceasar's ghost!

[Malacandra]

And likening anyone to a sthondat (which I've spelled correctly :) ) is fighting talk in Kzin. Which, if you happen to be wandering around Larry Niven's Known Space and bump into an eight-foot-tall sentient felinoid, may save your life. What a sthondat may be is never adequately explained, but it's probably a particularly vile animal.

Of course, you can perfectly well get into trouble with kzinti without needing to swear. Just address one who has a personal name by his job title and it's scream and leap time, even if he's an old friend. (Louis Wu knew better than to call Chmeee "Speaker-To-Animals", even though he was struggling to remember his right name.)

[Mangetout]

"Meega, nala kwishta!"

I haven't a clue what it means, but it makes Robots throw up and and alien lifeforms gasp in horror or faint dead away.

[Battle Pope]

Does the gratuitious use of the word "belgium" count?

Great Zarking Fardwarks! Can you use that kind of language in here?

[China Guy]

unleash the strontium dogs of hell

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

"Great Krypton!"

"By Hala!"

[Alessan]

Bugrit! Millenium and and shrimp!









Oops... pardon my Klatchian.

[Pushkin]

Its strangely gratifying to see 2000AD swearing in here; stomm, drokk, grud, sneck etc

What was it the 3PO unit said to C3PO in ESB? "Bee-cho-tah", quite rude apparantly :p

"Gorram" is from Firefly. I always assumed it was a contraction of "goddamn," but I may be wrong.

The subtitles diplomatically call the cursing in Chinese "Galatic Talk" or some such alternative.

Noy Jitat!

Great wasn't it? And now I know how to spell that phrase ;)

TANSTAAFL. Grok?

(Ok, that's not actually swearing. So go space yourself. Your mother was a pedestrian.)

Grok This!

You know what you are? You are an dirt breathing, atmosphere sniffing, ground worm. You heard me. I'll have you know my Mom ran a skyhook to L5 Gamma.

:D

[muldoonthief]

Useless copsiks.


Well rape my lizard!

(Both Niven, but different series.)

[FordPrefect]

You are all a bunch of dirty, dirty shiznos.

[MacTech]

By Grabthar's Hammer, this is a frelling drad idea!

[RealityChuck]

A rare use of an actual word:

What are you looking at, sport?

From Tim Power's Dinner at Deviant's Palace. "Sport" = "genetic sport" = "freak."

[Scissorjack]

Bleb. As in "What the bleb?", from Samuel Delany's Empire Star. I forgot another 2000AD one, too: "Skev!" from Rogue Trooper.

It occurs to me that having Space Tourettes would be fun: Drokk! Bleb! Snut! Tanj! Stomm! Grud! Drang! Crut! Sneck! Glub! Smeg!

Swearing mighty oaths is fun, too, such as Doctor Strange's "By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth!"
