[Quiz]Science Fictionally Profane
I have created a quiz for you to take.
This is the link: Science Fictionally Profane
Desecription: Science fiction writers get creative when their characters get angry and frustrated. How many fictional naughty words are you familiar with?

Match the expletive to the source, and vice-versa. Or, answer the question.

I guessed on most of them. I guess I'm just too sweet and innocent to know any naughty words. Angel

Excellent quiz. Very well done! :clap:

Your old music cannot sustain you through a life, not if you're someone who listens to music every day, at every opportunity. You need input, because pop music is about freshness, about Nelly Furtado and the maddeningly memorable fourth track on a first album by a band you saw on a late-night TV show. And no, that fourth track is not as good as anything on Pet Sounds or Blonde on Blonde or What's Going On, but when was the last time you played Pet Sounds? - Songbook by Nick Hornby

So, while we're here, what's you're favorite curse or naughty word from a sci-fi or other fictional work?

I get a kick out of "frak!" But I think "frell!" is even funnier, because, as expletives go, it's not got the harsh consonant sounds you expect. "Frelling" shows up a lot in Farscape.

58%. And, I have no idea how. I usually don't guess right.

That was really sad. I stand extracted. One should know these colorful words.

I'm kinda partial to "Shards!" from the Pern books (Anne MacCaffrey) because it's a nice handy word but doesn't have religious, body part, body function or sexual connotations whatsoever. Big Grin
