Low Gothic Vulgarity?

[KayO]

One detail I find hilarious is how this game's vulgarity is left untranslated like in Assassin's Creed 2. There are 3 words that stand out: Kark, Frag, and Grut. This is my best guess.

Kark- It's a 4 letter word that popular with all the veterans. Furthermore, they use it as a noun "Those karkers" and an adjective "Another useless karking mission" and a verb "quit karking around". This one is pretty obvious; kark is the all purpose "sentence enhancer" swear word of the Low Gothic language.

Frag- This word is less popular that kark, and is usually used as an adjective "Did you just take the fraggin' ammo AGAIN?!" My best guess is that it's a word used to denote poor quality, similar to English words that reference unpleasant bodily functions.

Grut- This word is used exclusivly by the Ogryns, so I have 2 theories.
1. Grut is actually a word from the old Ogryn language rather than Low Gothic.
2. Because of the Ogryn's naivety, 'grut' is actually a milder Low Gothic swear word, akin to something like "bloody" in British English or "freaking" in American English.

i believe its insinuated that in the lore there are TONS of F-Word equivalants in the setting. not that they LITERALLY translate the same way as that word, but that their usage and significance of cuss power levels are more or less the same.
another example of one is 'feth' that is used pretty much exclusively by the Tanith First and Only. they have mentioned the actual meaning has nothing sexual behind its origin but its definitely used with the same energy in cussing terms.

"Another useless f king mission!"
"Did you just take the shtting ammo again?!"
"Bloody Outstanding!"

Used to Frag a lot in Quake III Arena, so there's that - frag them filthy heretics!
Krakers are just old people's dry jokes.
Grut it's Ogryn brain. lol

That's fascinating. Thanks for the info.
