I like smuck. It’s rhymes with muck which is yucky; like the soft sediment in a lake. What is frick? It rhymes with crick; like a pristine babbling brook. I’m going to start substituting smuck instead of frick .
Try this one: “I think I broke his smucking neck”
Now frick is free to be used elsewhere; like Nixon’s 1st name.
Now try this one: “Don’t be a frick” … Now together … “You smucking frickhead!”.
I’m totally serious;)
Have you ever read Achewood, webcomic of Chris Onstad?? It sounds like you might enjoy some of his homemade vernacular.
Pro tip: read the strip from the beginning. It is worth the investment of time and brain.
Were he not recently deceased, I think Frick would have suggested you use “smuck”.
Thank you, Tom, for a days worth of amusing, disturbing, and otherwise evocative mental images and phraseology.
Smuck sounds a lot like schmuck, which is the Yiddish word for penis. Keep that in mind next time you hear it used, and it can be good for laughs.
I like the made-up swear word they used on Battlestar Glactica (the original series; never watched the newer one): Frack! At the time, it was pretty funny hearing that word used on primetime TV.
I was always quite fond of drokk.
And if I was in a particularly bad mood, stomm.
My dear Raphael, I think you’re just trying to lure me out of hiding. I think you are quite aware of that which is the crux of the biscuit.

I think Farscape’s “Frell” rolls off the tongue better than any other SciFi made-up swear I’ve heard. “Frack” is pretty good though.
My 2nd teacher used to say “Oh Fudge!.”
The class always laughed when she said it. We never thought of it as a substitute for any thing. Our minds were untainted. Now I see it could go two ways; poop or sex.:o Excuse me.
other notables; shoot, gosh darn, son of a beach
