[18+?] Lore-Friendly Expletives

Hi there.

So, I'm working on a bit of fiction coinciding with my first PC play-through and as I was writing I wanted to have my avatar say something to express severe disbelief, but as a swear. I ended up going with "what the f***f" but honestly, that doesn't sound right to me; the f-bomb just doesn't sound lore-friendly in the realm of swears. Nor do a few that refer to male genitals. I want to use those but they just don't fit. I've used "manhood" a few times but I don't want to overdo it. GRRM did that in "A Game of Thrones" and it got really annoying. I'm seriously at a loss.

So, here's what I ask: can you guys offer any lore-friendly swears? Anything! Funny, serious, I don't care. The only limits are what's set by the forums rules; personally, I have no moral limits on this sort of thing.

Never thought of that. "Mammoth pl*ps," maybe? "Go sleep with a mudcrab"... Dunno.

"By the armpit hairs of Ysgramor!" or, "That's about as festive as a Sanguine plops.." (could substitute Sheogorath for Sanguine there), ... that's all I've got for now.

I'll think further on this.

Akatosh's Cock, what now?

Mara's Minge, you scared me.

Why don't you wander into Gloomreach and go practice some of those Dibellan Arts on a skulking falmer, you slut.

Mead, Wench. I've been working the sawmill all day, and my mouth's as dry as a draugr's c#nt.

I'd rather pleasure a giant frostbite spider.

Randy as a sabre cat in a Khajiit harem.

Go stick it between a chaurus' mandibles.

Flaccid as a Hagravens tit.

I've seen more meat between a troll's loins.

He went diving for oysters and came out with mudcrabs.

Go piss on a slaughterfish.

She's more frigid than a Wisp Mother in Frostfall.

Here's a better idea, Serana - how about you take a false life burning f#ck off the end of my Dawnbreaker.

Malacath's balls! (- Saw it in a fanfic once)

I hope Molag Bal drags you to Oblivion!

Stupid Dog! Not even Hircine would want you!

May Vaermina curse you with horrible nightmares for the rest of your days!

Boethia will wreak havoc on everything you hold dear!

By Sheogorath's cheese! (or fishstick, for awesome reference)

To Oblivion with you! (I think we all heard of that one)

I'd rather bed a slaughterfish than you!

Mother of a spriggan that hurt!

Go get laid in Dragon plops!

Piece of troll bait!

You're so ugly, not even a troll would fancy you.

I'd rather party with a troll.

You two are about as bad as a Frost Atronach getting it on with a Flame. You'll destroy each other.

-----------------

Not the best but they are only what I could come up with at the moment lol most of them are insults but... at least you can do that in real life and they won't know what hit em? LOL

I am very.... imaginative....

I find it usually ends in disaster though.

I was gonna suggest that you watch the HBO TV series Rome. It's a lot like Game of Thrones and even has some of the actors in it (including Ciaran Hinds, Tobias Menzies and Indira Varma). They use a lot of very strong language, but it all contains mythological references to the gods and cultures appropriate to the time period. Spartacus: Blood & Sand copied a lot of their ideas, but they came up with some good curses as well.

I freaking love this and must find some reason to use it in my fanfic.

I use "By the gods/divines/Eight/Nine" as a general expletive; in my headcanon, it can either be an awestruck "Oh my god" or an angry "Son of a b*tch/Goddamn it."

"Shor's stones" or "Ysmir's beard" can also stand in for "Son of a b*tch/Goddamn it."

"What in Oblivion" for "what the hell."

And of course, every Nord's favorite: "Milk-drinker," which is basically calling someone a pussy.

You can actually use the word, "hell". Was actually used in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. There are many good ones in this forum, the best advice I've seen here is using the game's lore. If you want you could actually good how to curse in Norse. I've found this particular line at that this search, "Praise Odin (Talos)! They're downwind of us!"

'Nocturnal's breasts!'

'By the dull eyes of Malacath!'

Here are some more:

Skoomer sucker

Horker F#cker

Go and deflower yourself with an ebony mace.

Even Namira would retch at the sight of you.

I've met more desirable men than you in Riften's Ratway.

I've met nicer girls than you in Glenmoril Coven.

I might sign up at the college in Winterhold. Just so I can study necromancy and then break into your family tomb and defile your ancestor's corpses.

Go tie yourself to a tanning rack, you leathery Argonian trollop.

How would you like your kid to spend his next birthday at the Honorhall Orphanage?
