I will admit... if someone said "I'm gonna cut ye" or "I'm gonna cap yer arse." I may just go "uh" or use "dude" IC.
Yeah, I more posted that tidbit for fun.
This second bit brings up something important though, which is that oftentimes people confuse phrases for words. Some words and their meanings are more than old enough to be used in certain settings. However, certain phrases that use them may not be.
...But just for fun, let's look at "Pop a cap." It's likely too modern by linguistic standards. I looked it up out of curiosity, and although it does have a few proto-uses according to this thread on the English section of Stackexchange, "pop a cap" in the stated usage can be pinned down to the 2000s.

I've only seen Swive offered as an alternative. The game gives us some other stuff like "Thal's Balls" and what-not, but those don't strictly mean "Fuck," or work in place of any of its derivative uses. "Thal's Balls" would more directly translate to something like "God Damn It," and something like Whoreson would translate to "Son of a Bitch" (or more directly, Son of a Whore).
