So we have:
E Chu Ta
Frell
Slag
Fierfek
Dikut
Since I love to use nasty potty mouth words it would be nice to get true def's for these, then we can curse on the forums all day and not get called out for it.
Can you guys tell me where you heard them (movies, books) some seem familar but i cant really place any.
Blast! (unknown) - A curse
Gnardly (unknown) - something less than wonderful
Guncta (unknown) - lower form of life, any being who would lie and cheat to get what they wanted
Plastihead (smuggling) - any thick-headed individual
Scratch Gravel! (unknown) - Get Lost!
Shag (Huttese) - slave
These seem like the real deal but i still see no for sure F-bomb! We need an F-bomb!!![]()

SLAG is a real word. It refers to the waste byproduct you find after smelting metals into thier purer forms.

But even if it is mentionned in the extended universe, it just would feel so un-SWish to me, to go all "Ok, I will be there in 5 minutes. 10-4" you know?
I am not ditching the idea, just that for me it is too "real life" sounding to help me roleplay in the SW universe.
Especially since the person who brought the Ten-Code idea to SW probably borrowed it from real life in the first place thinking it was super cool and that we'd all fall for it jump on the bandwagon! I know we are all geeks to some extent since we devote this much time to talking about a video game, but some folks are REALLY geeks.
Kinda like the guy I met IRL who was trying to tell me that HAM radio was just like being part of a bowling team or a running club...

I wonder what the hell society's infatuation with making words "bad" is all about.
*plays 50's style school educational film*
abad word is a wonderful way to emphasize a point. For example: "Hey! you piece of sh*t" sounds so much better then say: "hey! you piece offecal matter!" while "would you like to copulate" just does not hit as hard as "lets f*ck". So you can see a good curse word is a great way to say "I care"
Oh, also, I think that the U.S. has crazy ideas about censorship, especially sexuallly. - /true
The F-Word
Good point! Maybe they are a natural fit after all

After re-reading Hard Contact, I feel very safe in saying that fierfek is the Mandalorian F-bomb.
