Swearing is fun. When done in fiction, it often humanizes characters who are otherwise a little too perfect. In SF/F, this can be tricky. One favorite is only a word at all because it was an acronym: Ship High In Transit, and came about because manure would cause sailing ships to explode. If a fantasy or sci-fi culture lacks those traditions, how do they swear? How does one make it recognizable and distinct?
