I never really liked frell as a replacement for fuck honestly, the sound is a little too round to put energy behind it. Was best when it was used in a sort of defeated, resigned reaction to things getting worse. Because of course it's getting worse.
The swears from Expanse's lang belta are my favourite, ya lik pashang! Easily the most creative of sci-fi swear replacements, the intent still carries through clearly to the viewer and they have good range. Though it wasn't used to escape censors.
Frak from BSG gets points for still being able to convey the same range as fuck, but loses them all for being the least creative.
"flark" anyone remember this one? I don't remember what show it is from and it's possible my brain made it up.
Quick google says it's from Guardians of the Galaxy
