New Nerd Law

My socially awkward, imagination-oriented compatriots: your attention, please.

You are forthwith commanded to immediately and irrevocably cease the public use of fake profanity that was invented for your favorite sci-fi TV shows and movies. This includes childish faux-insults such as “laser-brain and “nerf-herder”, made-up “fuck-lite” terms like “frell” and “frak”, and insults or profanity in Chinese, unless you also speak the rest of the language.

These ridiculous fauxfanities were made up in order to cope with the fact that sci-fi characters must swear to impart a sense of gravity and humanity to their actions, but must not violate the rules of the MPAA and FCC. Such restrictions do not apply to you while you are not being broadcast on TV or shown in a film. You are an adult; you can use the profanity that God and our ancestors handed down to you as appropriate. If you hammer your goddamned thumb, just yell “fuck”. If you are in an environment where you are not allowed to use the word “fuck”, such as while babysitting or at your job, be an adult and just don’t swear.

A special exemption is amended for Fyrehaar, who is mentally ill and cannot stop quoting Dawn of War space marines. Are you not Fyrehaar? Then no exemption for you!

That is all.
