There are many sci-fi based "swear words":
* The ShadowRun RPG used ''drek'' and ''frag'' to mean "junk" and "fun^Hck"
* Farscape used ''frell'', as in "what the frell!"
* BattlestarGalactica used "felgercarb"
* Babylon5 used "flarn"
* Numerous StarTrek dialects, including both KlingonLanguage and Romulan, contain a variety of oaths and other epithets. 
* Asimov used "''unprintable''" as a "swear word" in the Foundation books. 
* DouglasAdams used ''zark''
* Red Dwarf used ''smeg''
