“Your mother had no beard and your father had no buttocks!” - Bhor insult from the Sten series. The Bhor species are basically self-consciously archaic Space Vikings/traders. ---

Oh, and a shout-out to the presumably traditional invocation of magical-history figures in expletives in the Harry Potter universe, such as “Merlin’s pants!” and “what in the name of Merlin’s saggy left [redacted]”. ---

27 posts, and no mention of [Yosemite Sam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnDxPG3KrtA)? Mel Blanc, rather. The story is that he would do his lines for this short soon after arriving in the sound booth building, after having endured LA’s notorious traffic. ---

_Farscape_’s profanities (and they had several of them) were especially good when they were coming from Chiana. Her body language left absolutely no doubt about what any of the words meant. ---

“Shazbat” from _Mork & Mindy_. Also, when Mork got drunk (on carbonated drinks), he always called it getting Ork-faced. Bones on _Star Trek_ to Spock: “Are you out of your Vulcan mind?” He always sounded like he wanted to substitute “fuckin’” for “Vulcan”. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > Bones on _Star Trek_ to Spock: “Are you out of your Vulcan mind?” He always sounded like he wanted to substitute “fuckin’” for “Vulcan”. That, or a racial slur. Which reminds me, in _Elfquest_, the elves considered “round-eared” to be insulting.
