I had a throwaway Sin Hunter character who'd mutter curses under her breath in Old Mithran when she was annoyed, most of which were made-up sufficiently guttural words. I usually had a rough idea of what they meant in case anyone asked, but many of them were 'swearing by the land' sort of. The few she got asked about meant things like "land-canker."
I also have a hot-tempered healer who sometimes (rarely) curses up a storm. "Prom" as a vulgar slang shortening for Promathia figures into her cursing a fair amount, she's said things like "Prom's chains!" when venting exasperation. She tries to avoid swearing by Altana, because her boyfriend is religious and frowns on blasphemy, but "Etna" as an irreverent shortening of Altana has slipped out once or twice too. :oops:

Sorrow, great sorrow, and deeds of renown without peer,
Within me sleep; for truth is here.
Truth destroys the worst in man; pleasure destroys the best.
If you love truth more than happiness, then open; otherwise, let rest.
