Re: Modern colloquial/slang expressions in fantasy?

(Anonymous) 2013-10-24 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have a problem with most swear words in fantasy. People have been using 'fuck', 'shit', 'damn', whatever as swears for as long as we've been a species. (Obviously not the English words, but their languages' equivalent.)

I'd be thrown out of the story if a medieval peasant said something like "Christ on a cracker!" or some other very modern sounding phrase, but general swearing is fine. Anyone who thinks people didn't swear in exactly the same ways we swear today needs to reacquaint themselves with the Eddas and Shakespeare and shit.
