* In ''VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings'' it seems to be a common euphemism to replace the verb "fuck" with "plough", as in "Go plough yourself!" As a standard exclamation "fuck" is still liberally used in the game.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}'' series, the Day Care Man refers to Pokémon mating as "playing", as in "[Your Pokémon] would prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."
** Justified in that, most of the time, said daycare man is talking to an [[KidHero 11 to 12-year-old]]; though since these are E-rated games, the man will still say this to the teenage protagonists of ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'', and ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY''.
** It's also quite possible this is because they DON'T mate - according to a special scene in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'', [[spoiler:[[OlympusMons Arceus]] creates every single Pokémon egg.

* ''VideoGame/ChzoMythos'': "[They will know / They knew] the name of the King" is a recurring expression most often used when a character dies. WordOfGod states that it doesn't actually refer to death, but someone undergoing one of the "Blessed Agonies" [[InitiationCeremony required for initiation]] into [[ReligionOfEvil The Order]]. It just so happens that "endure immense physical pain" is the most common one, which often results in their death immediately after.
* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'': Lovrik the pimp refers to the services he sells as "stew", which can become a bit odd when he's trying to determine his client's sexual preferences. The LiteralMinded can also buy a bowl of stew from him.
-->''"What -- ahem -- flavour of stew do you prefer? Do you like the strong and meaty variety or do you prefer it delicate and fragrant?"''
* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', Alistair will ask the player character in they've ever "licked a lamp post in the winter." In context, this becomes a euphemism for sex...or something. Also, Oghren will ask "Where can I get some sauce for that rump roast?"
** There is also a rather hilarious exchange between Alistair and Oghren about "polishing their swords." Whether or not this is in fact a euphemism or not is lost on everyone, including Alistair. Also subverted. At one point he talks to Wynne about catching Alistair "twirling his pike" and how embarrassed Alistair was. Wynne is disgusted, until she realizes Oghren's talking about Alistair twirling an ''actual'' pike (a spear).
** Oghren seems to be a master of these, as evidence by this conversation, again with Alistair:
--->'''Oghren:''' So. With the boss, aye?\\
'''Alistair:''' Pardon?\\
'''Oghren:''' You and the boss. Rolling your oats.\\
'''Alistair:''' I don't know--\\
'''Oghren:''' Polishing the footstones.\\
'''Alistair:''' --what you're--\\
'''Oghren:''' Tapping the midnight still, if you will.\\
'''Alistair:''' what are you going on about?\\
'''Oghren:''' Forging the moaning statue. Bucking the forbidden horse. Donning the velvet hat.\\
'''Alistair:''' Are you just making these up right now?\\
'''Oghren:''' Nope. Been saving 'em.
** Oghren also drunkenly mistakes the PC for his ex-wife's female lover, referring to her as a "moss-biting poetess." Sort of the dwarf equivalent of "carpet-munching," one would assume.
** Also subverted in a conversation the Warden can have with Zevran:
--->'''Zevran''': You know, all this talk of Antiva, and for all it's riches and adventure, it is the leather I miss the most.\\
'''Warden''': [[LampshadeHanging Is that some sort of euphemism?]]\\
'''Zevran''': ''[laughs]'' It may as well be! But not this once, no.
** The sequel continues the fun with filthy-minded party member Isabela, who utters a similar series of euphemisms asking if Aveline and Donnic have had sex and how good it was. "Put it in your peach" is one memorable one; she also uses "mastered your taint," riffing on an unintentionally humorous line from the first game that underwent MemeticMutation.

(And yes, this is a ShoutOut to ''[[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Hamlet]].'') As such, people use the term "Sweet Yoruk!" in the same way people in real life use "Sweet Jesus!" (though they say "Sweet Yoruk" more than people in real life say "Sweet Jesus". When was the last time you heard someone say "Sweet Jesus"?)

* Math-obsessed Minamimoto in ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' flings mathematical terms instead of profanity, most commonly "hectopascals" and "you zetta sons of digits".

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', Alistair will ask the player character in they've ever "licked a lamp post in the winter." In context, this becomes a euphemism for sex...or something. Also, Oghren will ask "Where can I get some sauce for that rump roast?"
** There is also a rather hilarious exchange between Alistair and Oghren about "polishing their swords." Whether or not this is in fact a euphemism or not is lost on everyone, including Alistair. Also subverted. At one point he talks to Wynne about catching Alistair "twirling his pike" and how embarrassed Alistair was. Wynne is disgusted, until she realizes Oghren's talking about Alistair twirling an ''actual'' pike (a spear).
** Oghren seems to be a master of these, as evidence by this conversation, again with Alistair:
-->'''Oghren:''' So. With the boss, aye?
-->'''Alistair:''' Pardon?
-->'''Oghren:''' You and the boss. Rolling your oats.
-->'''Alistair:''' I don't know--
-->'''Oghren:''' Polishing the footstones.
-->'''Alistair:''' --what you're--
-->'''Oghren:''' Tapping the midnight still, if you will.
-->'''Alistair:''' what are you going on about?
-->'''Oghren:''' Forging the moaning statue. Bucking the forbidden horse. Donning the velvet hat.
-->'''Alistair:''' Are you just making these up right now?
-->'''Oghren:''' Nope. Been saving 'em.
** Oghren also drunkenly mistakes the PC for his ex-wife's female lover, referring to her as a "moss-biting poetess." Sort of the dwarf equivalent of "carpet-munching," one would assume.
** Also subverted in a conversation the Warden can have with Zevran:
-->'''Zevran''': You know, all this talk of Antiva, and for all it's riches and adventure, it is the leather I miss the most.
-->'''Warden''': [[LampshadeHanging Is that some sort of euphemism?]]
-->'''Zevran''': *Laughs* It may as well be! But not this once, no.
** The sequel continues the fun with filthy-minded party member Isabela, who utters a similar series of euphemisms asking if Aveline and Donnic have had sex and how good it was. "Put it in your peach" is one memorable one; she also uses "mastered your taint," riffing on an unintentionally humorous line from the first game that underwent MemeticMutation.

** The term 'space' (as a verb) is sometimes used in Sci-fi as shorthand for the act of ejecting something from an airlock, e.g. in one episode of ''Babylon 5'' wherein an alien ship is said to have 'spaced' the captives held on board.
** Another term from the same games is "Schutta." If the Exile asks Atton what it means, he replies, "Ask a Twi'lek. It's not flattering."

* ''VideoGame/StartAgainStartAgainStartAgainAPrologue'': Crab. Crabs are inevitable, and Vaugardians use it as a curse word... and take the act of boiling a crab in a pot of water as an act of incredible sacrilege. All the more so when it's happening in a former House of Change...!
* In ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia'', Teepo uses the word "bazongas" to refer to breasts (Which is made apparent if you don't cook anything for a while, which may prompt him to say Elise will never grow any if she doesn't eat). Jude is shown to be unaware of the meaning in a skit, where Alvin and Rowen decide to take advantage of it for their amusement by goading him into yelling "TEACH ME ABOUT BAZONGAS!" at the top of his lungs, which gets him a scolding from Leia.
* Miscreants like Garrett are called "taffers" in the world of ''VideoGame/{{Thief}}''. Lower-class citizens use variants on this word, making sure nobody is "taffing about", "taffing with me", or "giving me taff". Though fans of the series speculated that "taffer" was derived from some real word from a European culture the universe resembled, the creators assures us the word was made up.
* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' has [[{{Meido}} Shannon]] and [[BattleButler Kanon]] refer to themselves as "furniture". This seems to be a way of illustrating the class difference between themselves and their love interests, who are members of the family they serve, and how (in Kanon's case), they have no right to be with them. [[spoiler:The truth is actually even sadder.]]

* In ''Reality Breakdown: Kel's War'', the third game in the RealityBreakdown series and the first to happen chronologically, protagonist Kel's home dimension seems a bit different from most other dimensions, in that they use energy from the sun to perform their "magic", and have "frap" as a swear word. The word is versatile, too, as one NPC is seen running into town yelling "One frapping huge army is coming!", while another time Kel wakes up and asks a party member how long he was out. When hearing how many days he was unconscious, he says "frap, I missed the weekend". Amusingly, Kel uses the word in another dimension later in the game, and naturally no one knows what he's talking about. The word is likely a combination of "fuck" and "crap".
