“Bi*ch” is used. At least Garrosh used it!
I’m sure, the Vulpera of the deserts of Vol’dun are very creative when it comes to swearing and cursing, and traditional (if its the good word)
“Sand swallows you” or “I hope a pack of hyenas will feast on you and your family” or “May Vathikur/Merektha (both are “famous” giant cobra) davour you!” totally acceptable, like a quick F… ine or damn.
The pirate/seafarer Vulpera are, I belive, have a very colorfull palette when it come to curse like a sailor…
“Fel!” is usually my go-to expletive. On occasion I’ve used “That’s kodo bowels” or similar.
Calling someone a trogg as a dwarf is a great insult.

A personal favourite of mine for blood elves is using Dar’khan Drathir’s name as a swear word.
“Drathir take you” becomes an insult so grievous you wish the most hated traitor who enabled your own people’s genocide claim that person.
You essentially wish that person had died with the Scourge.

This is a muscular insult.

Swearing ic = very 5iq
Dropping F and B bombs left and right is just distasteful (and even TOS breaking), so coming up with unique forms of insults that fit the universe is very wholesome and appreciative at times.

I usually employ curses like ‘what the hell’, ‘hellfire’, ‘gods above’, ‘god/gods damn you’ and any other variation of them for my characters.
Depending on the company I’m RPing in I might go from swears most people view as contemporary like (forum censor) B-word, F-word, S-word etc. or stuff that’s generally viewed as archaic like damn, bloody & blasted etc.
I’m also a big fan of the phrase Hangart coined for Forsaken, ‘piss and rot’.

They removed it.
A tauren in Classic uses ‘numb hooves’ to describe the PC being dim or slow.
Still not sure why, the word exists in a few other places. Are they ever going to remove those as well?
Apparently a game designer’s (can’t remember exactly who) child was questing through Silverpine and pointed it out, the game designer agreed and just removed it.
It’s also worth nothing that WoW operates with no regard for etymology. You could use any word you want or write something in Latin and it’d probably be viable in the setting.

see Mogi’s response to this already. Other instances of the word still exist.
Khadgar incantates in Latin sounding language so yeppers
I don’t see why more fantasy settings won’t employ other real-life languages in general to represent different cultures. Why should the frontier be set at English (or whatever language it’s translated into), and everything else be made-up gibberish (not counting Lotr, Tolkien is a good egg)

Dragon Age does a thing where Orlesian is literally just French and it honestly works. For that reason I headcanon that the Latin language Khadgar is seen using is just Old Common or something since they use verses of it for O Thanagor as well

Inhuman, old and reliable.
It’s not a swear word though, it’s a fact.
Normalise 
the use of Hel in human RP
it’s short for helheim

Normalize the use of hell instead, it’s short for Hellfire Peninsula
