a few of my players are having trouble threating people without saying real world swears, can anyone link me a list of common and uncommon swears for this Star Wars setting. Bonus points for twi leks

I just did a Google search and found this: http://scifi.about.com/od/starwarsglossaryandfaq/a/SWAR_curses-and-expletives.htm

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Slang

That oughta cover you.

There is no better language to curse in than Huttese.

Which really only exist so that the movies don't get a higher rating for having actual swearing.

I don't even think we curse which is weird considering how we normally talk lol.

Thanks, I found this useful.

Human swear words sound a bit off in a SW setting, but it doesn't make sense not to have some kind of cursing in a den of scum and villainy, either.

I recall how Shadowrun had it's own euphemisms like 'drek', 'slot' and 'frag'.

Ive planned on introducing my players to a rhino type creature called a 'shan'. When it gets excited it throws a violent temper tantrum. Hence the saying when the 'fit hits the shan'. I'm sure everyone can figure what it the saying is an analogy for.

Cool! I was getting nerf-herding tired of calling my nerf-herding brother a nerf-herding nerf-herder!!

My players just swear in Mandarin.

"Kriffing" is a swear word and featured by some NPCs in Long Arm of the Hutt. I think it's the Star Wars equivalent of the F-word.

say words like "Barve", "kriffing", "emperor's black bones!", "sithspit"

This is the only acceptable swear word in space:

Slightly off topic but the best Star Wars insult I've ever heard is, "Jar Jar is your mom!"

Who is this Jar Jar you speak of?

My character swears like a drunken sailer, but we game in the area where my 9 and 11 year old kids hang out, so I've pretty well said assume she's swearing a lot. Once they're asleep I can be a bit less restrained.

After having worked in schools for the last 13 years I've worked so hard to train myself out of swearing that it actually takes me some work to swear prolifically.

I recall that 'blast' is used in the films. You can exclaim, "blast!" like any of us might say "s---!", or you can use it as an adjective, like, "I can't open the blasted door!"

Or, you could just swear like that english-challenged villain in that old movie Johnny Dangerously: "those fargin' bastages!"

I thought 'blast' was '****'. I think the s-word equivalent is "PUDU!" and I think Sebulba gave its best delivery!

I like stang, Sith-spawned, festering, and sons of mynocks. Han Solo was also known to use hell and ****, although I would limit that around younger players. Finally, glitch is apparently a curse among droids.

Specific words and their meaning aren't what makes them taboo. It's the inflection, emphasis to insult, and emotion put behind them that make them bad. I can say things like "fecal matter" and "intercourse" and people don't get nearly as offended.

Which is why I think it's funny when people go out of their way to say non-swear words when they are really upset. The fact you're putting the same emotional anger and intent to insult behind those words means that you are, in fact, cussing like a sailor.

So, feel free to use the examples here. It's all about intent, and not the words themselves.

Blast! You're right.

Thanks for all the awesome suggestions guys, this is really helping my players get into character.

That's AMBASSADOR Jar-Jar to you nerf-herders.
