I now have a better feel for what aionys is looking for, and I can appreciate it more fully. For m'self I use the construction le cevni kurji ko in place of the traditional pagan "blessed be." Since we are looking at expletives that will fit the lojbanic culture, perhaps blessings can also be derived. I happen to agree that culturally neutral does not mean culturally absent; 'tis just that the culture of lojbanistan is still evolving and I had not considered curses to this point.

Well sure but that's kind of akin to saying "no need for nursery rhymes. Just use {cifselsa'a}".
I'll throw in some things I've found myself using in the past:
cmamenpre
latpinca
tolmencre is a classic
maltolpi'oUsually if a thing is inherrently unpleasant I won't bother with the "mal" since it seems unlikely for a person hearing "doi latpinca" to get confused and think that I actually believe that I'm addressing cat piss. But in cases like "tolpi'o" I'll throw the "mal" on just to clarify that I'm not merely stating a fact.

There is, of course, "mabla", which is defined as "x1 is a derogative
connotation/sense of x2 used by x3" but several of us think it should be a
general-purpose cussword.
