** Feckik: Ass(hole). Another of Rygel's favorites. Then Chiana threatened to shove something up Rygel's own if he didn't do what she wanted.

* [[Literature/JacquesMcKweon Jacques McKweon]] by Creator/BenCroshaw, has 'pilot math', in which abbreviated mathematical terms are used as substitutes for common swear words. "Plying, trac-eating divs, doints and brackets."

* Made into a running joke in Roleplay/DinoAttackRPG. Given that it was based on [[Toys/LEGODinoAttack a LEGO line]] [[Website/BZPower on a family friendly board]], actual curses were out of the question. At fist players just got around it by using mundane variants (i.e. "darn") but later made a running joke out of creating curse words that would seem "foul" to Franchise/{{LEGO}} people, many of which were inside jokes. For instance:

* [[Creator/BenCroshaw Yahtzee Croshaw's]] Jacques [=McKeown=] Saga, currently consisting of ''Literature/WillSaveTheGalaxyForFood'' and ''Literature/WillDestroyTheGalaxyForCash'' has 'pilot math', in which abbreviated mathematical terms are used as substitutes for common swear words. "Plying, trac-eating divs, doints and brackets."

** Episode 4 features R2-D2 whistle something to C-3PO in one scene, to which he is told "Watch your language!"
*** Given a CallBack in ''Film/TheLastJedi'' when Luke and Artoo reunite on Achtoo; Artoo beeps something that was evidently pretty profane, causing Luke to gently scold him for swearing on sacred ground.

*** Sebulba in ''[[Film/ThePhantomMenace Episode I]]'' is also fond of using "poodoo" as a curse word.

** Feckik: Ass(hole). Another of Rygel's favorites. Then Chiana threatened to shove something up Rygel's feckik if he didn't do what she wanted.

* [[InvertedTrope Reversed]] in the live-action ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movie. Frenzy spends the whole movie scurrying and skulking around muttering to himself in Cybertronian, until, as one of his shots fatally ricochets back towards him, his last words are "[[CurseCutShort Oh shi--]]".

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': In "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbNerdsOfAFeather Nerds of a Feather]]", Phineas and Ferb attempt to have the FandomRivalries between those of ''Space Adventure'' and ''Stumbelberry Finkbat'' make peace, but they fail. At the end of the first act, Phineas says, "To quote Lump Sharkboard from Space Adventure 16... 'glorf'."

* In ''VideoGame/StarCraft'', Zeratul and the other Dark Templars will say "Cas Nerada" or something like that when annoyed. The inflection clearly marks it as some Protoss cuss word.
** Presumably it's Khas, which would make sense as a Dark Templar curse (being something along the lines of Khas be damned) since the whole Dark Templar society is based around the rejection of the Khala, which was Khas's invention.

* In ''WebComic/YokokasQuest'', Mao says "What the helck", a portmanteau of hell and heck, when he finds out that Kalliv was in his pocket for his journey to the Darkness Clan.

* The multipurpose swearword of choice in the ''Literature/TheShipWho'' series is "fardle" and its variants: fardles, fardling, fardled, etc. There's also "nardy" which is a surprisingly effective insult of unknown meaning, and "shellcrack" which is an expletive that only seems to be used by shellpeople, who probably invented it on the first place.

*** From earlier in the episode:
-----> '''Odo:''': Can I help you? \\

‐‐‐‐‐> '''Odo:''': Can I help you? \\

* In the ''Literature/{{Spaceforce}}'' novels, Jez speaks English but swears like a trooper in her own language. Because her partner Andri keeps his translator unit's profanity filter on, we only get the alien words.

** Tau refer to humans, generally derogatorily, as "Gue'la", a term [[FantasyCounterpartCulture clearly derived from the Chinese]] "''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gweilo gweilo]]''".Humans who serve the Tau, on the other hand, are called gue'vesa.

* A CBBC advert for ''Ed & Oucho'' has the pair having a conversation. Oucho speaking in his tongue of "dee baa shor baa dee" says something, to which Ed replies he cannot say on television. Oucho continues and Ed starts shouting louder at him to stop.

** Lae'zel in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' has an impressive array of githyanki insults and derogatory terms, such as "Kainyank". She doesn't translate, but from context the general impression is of implying weakness and inferiority to the ProudWarriorRace githyanki. It's also not clear if her reflexive, dismissive "''Tchk''" is a word or just her scoffing.
* In one intro dialogue between Kano and Baraka in ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'', Kano tells Baraka that he should join Kronika. Baraka's response? "''NOKT'' you and Kronika!"

* In the ''WebOriginal/HamstersParadise'' post "[[https://tribbetherium.tumblr.com/post/700556860014690304/the-middle-temperocene-150-million-years-1000 Talk to the Trees]]", a talbot named Riverstone says "pwi-yipp" to some scaly-creepers who mimic sounds, which is described as a word the elders have forbade him to say.

** Lae'zel in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' has an impressive array of githyanki insults and derogatory terms, such as "Kainyank". She doesn't translate, but from context the general impression is of implying weakness and inferiority to the ProudWarriorRace githyanki. It's also not clear if her reflexive, dismissive "*Tchk*" is a word or just her scoffing.

* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' series, the drow elf Viconia has a pretty sharp tongue. Sometimes she uses Drow curses: from relatively mild "Oloth plynn dos!"[[note]]"Darkness take you!"[[/note]] up to--when she's ''really'' angry--"Iblith!"[[note]]"Shit!"[[/note]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', ComicBook/{{Lobo}} repeatedly shouts “keezy fem!” during a fight with ComicBook/WonderGirl, which appears to be a stand in for “crazy bitch!”
