Ambush Bug cornered Lobo walking out from the men's room and pretended to be a space fish so that Lobo would adopt him (and no, Lobo didn't flush. He was quite proud of that). Upon reflection, I suppose there may have been a reason why Slam Bradley omitted the above-listed details.

Is "shocking" the equivalent of a swear word in Spider-Man 2099, or a less harsh word like "darn"? He had a guest appearance in Superior Spider-Man, and he said that all the time (potty mouth).

I read it as being a swear word... more like F___ than darn. Also, it's not just Spidey, but all of 2099. I always kinda liked it... it was alot more original than alot of the pretend swear words sci fi often comes up with.

Felgercarb, on the other hand... Nothing beats "smeghead," though, from Red Dwarf. (and "smeg" itself)

Smeg is good too. Farscape used 'Frell' which was ok, but a little too close to 'real' for me to give them full credit

L. Sprague de Camp coined "futter" in some of his fantasy novels.

The Legion of super-heroes used "Grife", "Holy Grife" and "what the sprock".
Bug (from the Micronauts) would say "Holy Shrew"!
But BSG nailed it with "Frak", as codystarbuck mentioned. I actually use it.

Drokk it, have none of you snecking smugfunts ever read 2000 AD?
(Judge Dredd also used to use "Stomm", but that appears to have gone out of fashion)

Always hated 'funt'. So much so, I now mentally translate it automatically without thinking.

2 favorite ways of swearing without swearing: substitute swear words with Klingon or Barsoomian (from Edgar rice Burroughs) words. Love seeing the looks on people's faces trying to decipher what the ghe"or (hell) i am saying. Son of a Banth! You Ulsio you! Blasted Calot! Dotar Sojat! Leaves themm confused i do say!!!! What fun for me if nothing else

I knew there was an example from Firefly, but I haven't seen the show for a while, so I couldn't think of it. So I had to google "what are the swear words in Firefly".
I was thinking of "gorram", by the way.
