 * No, because [[frak]] has an entry for a Dutch word, so can't be made into a redirect. —Ruakh TALK 23:16, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Drek is a Yiddish word that does mean shit, shadowrun didn't make it up.

common use
Are drek/dreck and bleep common enough to not be called "fictional?" It's "fictional curse words," not "interesting curse words in fiction." Ekdwc75v9Dzn91Y (talk) 18:27, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

zlorfik
Alien swear word from the 1988 computer game , apparently. Equinox ◑ 18:10, 8 February 2021 (UTC)

oh bother
would Winnie the Pooh's "Oh, bother!" count? We seem to be paying attention mostly to science fiction, but other genres also have opportunities to use substitutes for well-known vulgar terms. However, "oh bother" is so mild that Im not sure it could even be a euphemism, let alone a curse word itself. That said, there may have been other words Ive forgotten. — Soap — 20:55, 4 September 2022 (UTC)


 * That's just normal English, not limited to Pooh. Equinox ◑ 20:59, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

how to determine if a word is English?
A science fiction novel had the word plevvit in it and the narrator said "it's so bad I have no translation". The aliens in the book were of exotic form and did not speak with human sounds  among their own kind, so presumably this word can be described as belonging to a human language. But that doesnt make it English. — Soap — 20:57, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
