Here’s what was suppose to have happened: I am currently looking to update my vocabulary with a new set of alternative swear words. I’m bored of the standard swears, and need some humorous replacements. Keep it clean though, I’d rather not have one of the admin chappies remove my elbows. egg I do not take any responsibility for words invented in this thread [/incompetence] ---

Do you have _The Meaning of Liff_\* by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd? You can grab some random words out of there, completely disregarding their meanings, and use them as swears. For example: You Knaptoft!!! (knaptoft- the mysterious fluff placed in your pockets by dry-cleaners) Gweek you! (gweek- a coat hanger recycled as a car aerial) Tampa!!! (to be used in painful situations) (tampa-the sound of a rubber eraser coming to a rest after dropping off a desk in a silent room) To use them, however, you, as said before, must completely disregard their meanings. ---

In the episode of South Park where they used a particular swear word over 100 times, it was stated that _meekrob_ (sp?), a Thai or Vietnamese food appetizer, actually is a swear word as well. ---
