List of fictional curse words
Fictional curse words are profanities invented by authors of fiction, often science fiction / fantasy.
- --ing and ing - from Terry Pratchett's The Truth, used by Mr. Tulip at least once a sentence. The reader assumes that the word "fuck" is being censored, but it is revealed that Mr. Tulip is actually leaving a gap followed by "ing." The character Sacharissa Crisplock, a genteel woman, eventually adopts the word.
