I’ve been known to say “Tanj!” once or twice.
I will occasionally refer to someone as a p’tahk.
What the smeg are you talking about? Fantasy fiction only? Tanj!
I meant to add that “Juno’s cunt!” sounds like something Stan Lee would have Wonder Woman shout in a moment of alarm. It’s a rather weird mental image.
I picked up ‘bugger’ from Discworld.
I’ve been known to say ‘monkeytrumpets’ from time to time.
I also say ‘Neptune’s Barnacled Butt’ occasionally, but I don’t know where I got it.
When I’m really frustrated I’ve yelled ‘Holy Herman’s Hickory Smoked Horse Assholes’ before.
In Frith’s name, WHY?
“Shards!” from McCaffrey’s Pern books.
“Fewmets!” from one of the sequels to A Wrinkle In Time.
I, on the other hand, am disappointed.
It seemed appropriate at the time.
Oh, embleer Frith!
I like the swearing in Conan. By Derketo’s tits! Also, Crom!
Oh, and Mother-pus-bucket is also satisfying to day.
Silflay hraka, u embleer rah.
I was assigned to read Watership Down in high school. I liked how you learned the rabbits’ language along the way but you didn’t know you were learning it, so when Bigwig swore at General Woundwort, you knew exactly what he said.
Eat shit, you stinking prince.
There’s the old Lobo standard, “Feetal’s Gizz”.
Nitpick - from the context, I make it that the translation is more exactly: Eat shit, you stinking tyrant.
I don’t think that’s too far out of line from the glossary in the back of the book -?
By Rao!
Identify that.
It’s Kryptonian.
I’m just glad that I’m not the only person who had that come to mind, if only for a confused moment.
Anyway…I learned zounds from Calvin and Hobbes, for what that counts as.
“Crom!” is a close second favorite.
Is it wrong that I’ll say it by myself, with all appropriate feeling? I’ve actually said “frak!” when I stubbed my toe. Didn’t even think about it.
Which album was that? I didn’t know that they had done that. It sounds awesome!
From Wonder Woman comes one of my favorites-Suffering Sappho!.
Another Wonder Woman: “Merciful Minerva!”
