Swearing in a Fantasy Setting

I have used a few choice words from time to time. But I try to come up with other ways of saying it.

Frak is always a good one. Arse (decidedly a Scottish influence there), I've even been known to stoop to the level of cultural insults in my swearing (Ya beard ain't worthy of being my arse hair you son of a beardless gnome!)

Always enjoyed the "blood and ashes" from the Wheel of Time, or "BAGS!" from the Sword of Truth, certain amount of satisfaction in using regular terms as a curse.
