I need a non-swear swear word

[CountVanBadger]

There are no real swear words in XNPC. Who or whatever's in charge decided that forcing people to kill monsters on a daily basis or else become mindless flesh robots was fine, but cussing was a step too far. So whenever someone tries to swear, the System forces them to say something else. So far I have thunder and ashes. "Ashes! They killed the whole thundering group!" And occasionally they'll put them together as "Thunder and ashes!" when they're really pissed off.

But I still can't decide on a word for them to call other people. "You _____!" I've had a few ideas,but none of them feel quite right. Any suggestions?

So far I have:
- Scab
- Flot (like, short for flotsam)
- Trench
- Gulch
- Hag (unoriginal, but it works)
- Cyst
- Visk/Hisk/Shisk (they sound all right, but I'd like to stick to the theme of using real words)

Wench
good-for-nothing... (add occupation)
Scoundrel
Douche

Any of that helpful?

This is funny, I don't know if it is supposed to be funny, but whatever I have some ideas.

You grub!
You mire!
You spore!

And if you really want to make it funny or make it so that the censorship has an obvious theme then make it names of animals.

F*** : Frog -> Frog You!
Sh*t : Mole -> Holy Mole!
You bastard -> You Badger!
You son of a Beaver!
Asshole -> Ashboar!

Ucking-fay, el-hay.

I think "wang" might work here.

Stop slacking, slacker.

TANJ (From Larry Niven's books - means "There Ain't No Justice") or TANSTAFAL ("There Ain't No Such Thing As a Free Lunch" from Heinlein IIRC)
Frell (from Farscape) - can be made a gerund or verb as Frelling.

 

[CheertheSecond]

Broad is a good one too.

Although I don't know what it means.

Just use #### or something

These never worked for me. Even before we get into Heinlein's persistent pontification problem and Niven's misogyny issues.

Honky

Notice each set is from different regions of the world. You gonna have figure out what region, then getting slang insults that aren't slurs are easy to Google.

If I ever get to the point where I can really start another story (can't keep up with the ones I HAVE right now), I plan to have an MC with a limit like this, imposed on her by a very clumsy wish.
"I never used to swear much, even tried to fudging avoid it, especially around students, but now, golly darn it, I miss it..."

I like this thread already, i also suffer the same problem.

you can use: you devil, you Dumphead, Fucktard, you rot, bumpers, or you arse, ...
Note that most of these are my study swear words from the Victorian era, so they may work or not work for you.

Trench, Scoundrel, and Douche seemed ok, too.

 

[BearlyAlive]

Just get Shakespearean on your cursing and disses. Or use words that have the same sound and energy, like "swamp!" instead of "shit!"

Pustulant boil (on the face of humanity).

Festering lump.

Pestilence!

One my sister used when the kidlets were small - Fuhcryingoutloud

And a favourite when I'm super cranky...

Gobshite (gob as in job and shite as in height). I learned it from my Dad (who was English). Very satisfying word.
Meaning: a vulgar, offensive slang term, primarily Irish and British, for a stupid, contemptible, or obnoxious person, someone who talks nonsense, or just a general fool, often used in frustration to call someone an idiot or a braggart.

You mean person!

How was that?
