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 😛 [QUOTE=Argent Towers] “Gorram” is from Firefly. I always assumed it was a contraction of “goddamn,” but I may be wrong. [/QUOTE] The subtitles diplomatically call the cursing in Chinese “Galatic Talk” or some such alternative. [QUOTE=MrDibble] _Noy Jitat!_ From obscure H-B series _The Pirates of Darkwater_. Man, I loved that show… [/QUOTE] Great wasn’t it? And now I know how to spell that phrase 😉 ---

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.” ---

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!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drokk-its-a-sneckin-sf-swearing-thread-gorram-it/396097.md?page=2)
