I came across this brilliant little gem of creative cursing while reading Pratchett, where a person uses this because he is religiously forbidden to swear. I'm looking for other examples of such creative curses, which get the point across perfectly without sullying our own tongue, which you can use without stalling your passionate torrent of non-standard invective. I don't, however, want any actual curses to be used, as that would be against forum rules.
 
(Reading Night Watch, are we?)

Anyway: Smeg
 
The French in "Holy Grail" had it going on:

Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person. I blow my nose at you,

you empty headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! You mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

now go away or I shall taunt you a second time

And later:

I one more time, mac, unclog my nose in your direction, sons of a window-dresser!
I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of second hand electric donkey-bottom biters.
I burst my pimples at you and call your door-opening request a silly thing, you tiny-brained wipers of other people's bottoms!
And now, remain gone, illegitimate-faced bugger-folk! And, if you think you got a nasty taunting this time, you ain't heard nothing yet
 
That's a load of carp.
 
"I would have insulted you, but I'm afraid the point would fly so far above your head that it might hit passing birds or airplanes."
 
Bullshill.

Do acronyms count?
 
Bloody hill!

"By Odin's Raven!"

"Zeus's beard!"

"Oh my holy fudge..."

"You zarkin frood!"

"Flippin meanie face"

and my personal favorite:

"Knights of Columbus that HURT!!!"

There's a lot more where that came from. It has become an art form in certain areas. Brownie points for the movie references.
