The profanities are not made-up words, they are normal words that only have a profane meaning to that particular planetary culture because of their different ethics.


* PardonMyKlingon: Some of the characters on S'uthlam are prone to cussing up a storm, but because of cultural differences the things that count as cusswords on S'uthlam are quite inoffensive to the reader.

''Tuf Voyaging'' is an early work by Creator/GeorgeRRMartin of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' fame, described by Wiki/ThatOtherWiki as 'a darkly comic meditation on environmentalism and absolute power', which sounds about right. It stars the eponymous Haviland Tuf, a reclusive, phlegmatic, ''very'' eccentric chap with a great love of SpockSpeak and a great distaste for pettiness. And he often finds his fellow man to be very, very petty. He wants nothing more than to fly around the universe in his CoolStarship, The Ark, with his beloved cats and to make an honest living plying his trade.
