Tralk. We're Frelled. I'm sorry, Farscape did it first, did it best. The Chinese on firefly is innovative, but I don't understand it.

For what it's worth Scifi authors have been making up swear words since at least as early as the forties. There is a character in the first Foundation book that keeps screaming, "Galaxy" whenever you or I might say "Gorramnit", "Frak", "Frell", or "Smeg."
