User:SB Johnny/List of fictional expletives

People ask me about this page all the time. An old list from the days before the Wikipedians in charge forgot about the fun and started to take themselves too seriously.

The list was deleted in 2007. This is the article as it stood the edit before the AfD template was added.

I'll put raw text of the page history on the talk page, since the deletion makes it impossible to attribute it via weblink.

. . . . . . . ..... This list of fictional expletives contains expletives invented by writers of fiction—often science fiction or fantasy—to add nuance to the fictional cultures in their work, and sometimes as a form of censorship (or getting around it).

*

—ing and ing - from Terry Pratchett's The Truth, used by Mr. Tulip at least once a sentence. The reader assumes that the word "fuck" is being censored, but it is revealed that Mr. Tulip is actually leaving a gap followed by "ing." The character Sacharissa Cripslock, a genteel woman, eventually adopts the word, although mispronouncing it by omitting the gap. Terry Pratchett described the effect in a stage performance as resembling an African click language.

The word first appeared in the radio series, and later replaced "fuck" in the censored American edition of the novel Life, the Universe and Everything. The character of Stingray Timmins on the soap opera Neighbours has also adopted this term. Also from the British TV comedy series, Monty Python's Flying Circus (Episode 37, 'Prejudice'), where in a game show, viewers are asked to send in suggestions for a derogatory term for Belgians.

In "Saga of a Star World" one of the refugees from The Colonies comments on how he's been "Cast out and forced to live among the borays of humanity." Context seems to imply something like "Dirtbags" or perhaps even "White Trash"
bowb - from Harry Harrison's Bill, the Galactic Hero series. All-purpose military obscenity meaning, among other things, "to screw" or "to shaft". In the novel "it's always bowb-your-buddy week."

burn - used like "damn" in the Shaper/Mechanist universe ("Burn it!) but also like "fucked" to connote something wrecked, shafted or doomed ("Oh fire, we're really burned now"). "Fire!" is another general purpose expletive, sometimes an expression of surprise or exasperation like "shit!"

clinton - from Neighbours, used by Stingray Timmins.
clot - from The Sten Chronicles.
clones - From the original Battlestar Galactica - a large colony of human clones are encountered on the planet Arcta in the episode "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero."

forester - extemporised by Armando Iannucci during the final round of series 4, programme 6 of The 99p Challenge.
frack - from Battlestar Galactica. Similar meaning to "fuck", but its use by children in a 1978 TV show suggests that it carries no more social weight than "rats" or "darn" within the universe of the show. See also "frak".
frag - from Shadowrun. Similar meaning to "fuck", derived from the use of fragmentation weapons (i.e. - "Frag Grenades"). Due to the connection to the weapon type, it is more violent / negative and less sexual in connotation. Also frequently used in Lobo and Babylon 5. This usage probably derives from frag being used in the Viet Nam War by American solders as a verb meaning to kill with a fragmentation grenade, particularly the alleged practice of throwing them a bit short to catch an unpopular commander in the 'kill radius' of a grenade. It can be compounded just like 'fuck', in Shadowrun materials 'fragging' 'mother-fragger' and 'fraged up' are seen used.
frak - new spelling for "frack" used in the new Battlestar Galactica. (Same meaning as "fuck"). Same usage as the original series, but greatly expanded, and it also seems to carry the same "social weight" as fuck, as characters sometimes apologise for their language after using it. This expletive also appears in the role-playing games Cyberpunk 2020 and Shadowrun. In an early-1980s game on the BBC Micro called Frak! a caveman called 'Trogg' would utter this word in a speech bubble when "killed". Presumably same meaning as "fuck". Hacked versions of the game substituted "fuck". "Frak" is also used in The CW TV-show Veronica Mars season 3, with explicit references to Battlestar Galactica as a television show that the characters watch. "Frak" is also used in Warhammer 40,000 novels by Black Library Publishing. Noted novels such as For The Emperor and its following Ciaphas Cain series by author Sandy Mitchell. Furthermore, the term has been used in the show "The OC" (on Fox) specifically by the character Summer Roberts in season four.
- frak-head - from the new Battlestar Galactica miniseries, derived from "frak", substitution for "asshole" or "fuck-head": when the miniseries originally aired on SciFi channel the phrase "superior asshole" was used by Starbuck (Kara Thrace) - when later aired on NBC the phrase became "superior frak-head".
- frakwit/frakwad - Used once by Chief Tyrol when explaining to the Pegasus deck chief why the Galactica deck crew was so angry. He said that Admiral Cain had assigned "some frakwad from the Pegasus" to be Galactica's new deck chief. As it turns out, the person who he was explaining it to was that frakwad, but he did not seem in any way offended.
- motherfrakker - derived from "frak" in parallel to "motherfucker". Used first by Specialist Cally in Season 2 and later by Lieutenant Kat and Starbuck, but apparently not standard usage, as Chief Tyrol finds Cally's usage quite amusing, though this may also be because Cally rarely (if ever) curses.
- toasterfrakker - by extension, someone, like Helo, who's had sexual congress with a human-model Cylon.
frankie - from the ZBS Foundation's Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe, A derogatory terms for an "Android" derived from "Frankenstein".

frigate torque - an expletive used by Lindy Karsten in the Crossgen series Solus. She uses it so frequently it is probably no stronger than "damn" or "shit."

frinx - from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; probably has same meaning as "fuck"
