Which reminds me... There are Red Dwarf t-shirts that features Lister carrying some kind of hoover/gun on the front and a quote on the back:

Let's get out there and tw

I voted for "Frak" from Battlestar Galactica.

I generally don't like how most writers come up with their own cuss words. Not to say the act of doing it is something I don't like, but rather the result is something I usually don't like. Most of it sounds silly.

I like "frak" because...when said fast and loud and in the heat of the moment, it sounds exactly (or very close to) the same as what I would say here in this reality. ;)

The one thing I don't like about it as opposed to the other real one is that this one doesn't roll off of your tongue as well. Frak has 4 mouth movements, the other one has 3.
