The two Lojbanisms that really caught on amongst the players
were "mabla" (correct usage) and "le do mamta cu gerku" (incorrect, in
canonical Lojban).

What do you call "correct usage" for {mabla}?

I assume it was used as a swear word, which I agree should
be correct usage.

But the official definition says it is used to describe a swear
word, not that it is one. ({zoi gy shit gy mabla}, but not {mabla}
for "shit!") So it would not constitute correct usage for
fundamentalists.
