Although I like Firefly more than BSG (especially after season 3) I must say Frak is a little better than Gorram. Frak can be said with much more attitude. Gorram always seemed like an expression of annoyance. Frak is much more versitile.

Star Wars swear words are ridiculous. I'm writing a SW fic right now and I'm thinking of abandoning all swearing in the story.

Farscape had several good swear words. Dren was one, and I seem to remember they had a word they called Chiana - a tralk. There was also mivonks, hezmana, drannit, yotz, loomas, fahrbot, frelnik, thoddo and greebol, although I've forgotten the usage for probably half of them.

EDIT: On second thought, I found a site that explains them! Yay! Now I can brag about my huge loomas.... or maybe not, that just sounds very wierd.

You forgot all the shiny Mandarin phrases in Firefly! While not technically swear words, they are very useful when you get frustrated and need to say SOMETHING but can't use the traditional English swear words.

Just make sure that there isn't a Mandarin speaker close by or you may get threatening looks for completely mispronouncing his/her language.
