On the other hand, I prefer real-world profanity to overly forced made up stuff. After all, the f-word, the b-words and many others are really just normal English words with accepted definitions used as invective, and most of the time there seems little reason why those meanings need made-up words when <insert fictional deity's body part> has been given in English.
But, on the gripping hand, anything can work when done well and not to excess. Like...
