Post by charles ramseyYou would think the poofters in the fcc would have better thing to do
than ban certain words from being said on the radio. So let's make a
list of cuss words that are in science fiction and say them on the
air.
How about "vulking" from C. S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy? That one even
sounds bad. :-)
You might want to read some of the posts in this infamous mega-thread on
"Silly Cussing in Fantasy & SF." Not all the suggestions are silly, so you
might find something usable.
