**AD YEAH**

Okay, so there are many replacement words for curses in Warhammer 40k such as the Tanith 1st and only: Feth or Gak

What is the Cadian's curse word?? just wondering is all

**Gavo**

Gak is actually from Verunhive.

Anyway, I'm not sure, those are the only two I know.

**AD YEAH**

yeah i know, but the Verunhivers get molded into the Tanith and where i'm up to, both races are using both terms

oh serious.... dam -.- i need it for my story..

**Turkeysaurus_Rex**

In the back of the previous IG codex there were loads of guard curses and derogatory terms listed, so if someone has one to hand they could list a load.

Mine is in a box with a tone of other codexes, WDs and rulebooks so I cant list them myself.

**MechaEmperor7000**

Son of a Horus was one if I remember.

**AD YEAH**

oh okay, is frak one?

**Gavo**

I just looked through the 4th ed IG codex, nothing there.

**AD YEAH**

....Well....this is awwkward...

**Emperors Faithful**

A common vostroyan equivalent is "Khek/Khekking".

**AD YEAH**

oh okay thanks (:

**Jaon**

Apparently the Imperial Guardsmans Infantry Uplifting Primer has a ton.

**AD YEAH**

oh does it? thankyou! (:

**Turkeysaurus_Rex**

There is son of a grox too.

**Emperors Faithful**

Emperor's Teeth

**Sgt.Snail**

CREED'S BALLS!

As an exclamation, as in 'Creed's balls your ugly!'

**purplefood**

Frak is a Valhallan one afaik

**Trickstick**

Bone 'ead - Anyone who takes orders too literally
Freak, Brain, Bolt Magnet - Derogatory term for psykers
Hangman, Leash - Derogatory term for commissars
Plank - Idiot or Ogryn
Scrambled - Insane, shell-shocked
Toy Soldier, Glory Boys - Stormtroopers
Twist - Mutant

**AD YEAH**

Storm troopers...thought they would've been tin heads or something..

**mr-squigi**

If my memory is correct, in the black library novel "flesh and iron" they seem to use the word fragging alot.

**AD YEAH**

IIRC "Frak" is from the old 1970's/80's BattleStar Galactica series..(may have also been used in the new series,I didn't watch it.)

**Owain**

Just get creative. Cadians probably reference the Eye of Terror frequently.

Sticking only to 40k Frak is a Valhallan curse word.
BL or GW may have nicked it from BSG but i wouldn't know about that... i wasn't even born then.

I seem to remember feth being thrown around a lot in Titanicus (but I could be wrong).

Dan Abnett wrote both the Tanith series and Titanicus.

**Lizar7**

In Emperor's Mercy they say ''vrekking''.

**WARORK93**

Cadian curses include things like "FRAK!" and "By the Bloody Eye!" (refferring to the Eye of terror.)

-As seen in Gunheads.
