Smeg
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
Ah, smeg. The stuff of dreams.
Smeg could be one of one things. The less popular one is a cooker company, but I couldn't care less about them. What I care about is smegging smeg, you smeghead.
Smeg is an imaginary swearword derived by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, creators of Red Dwarf which, for all visitors to this planet and Americans (who, if their "World's Best..." series of TV programs are anything to be believed, live on another planet) is a very popular TV show concerning the last human alive, three million years away from earth, with only an android, a hologram of his dead crew mate, a humanoid descendant of cats and a senile computer (I'm leaving out series 7 and 8 because, quite frankly, they were smeg) for company.
Red Dwarf originally went out on BBC 2 at around 9pm, fridays. It soon became cult. Unfortunately, they weren't allowed to use any real swearwords, so they came up with smeg, and it stuck.
Smeg could mean anything. It is used in a variety of forms (smeg, smegged, smeghead, smegging, smeggers) for a variety of reasons. It has even, I believe, been added to the Oxford English Dictionary.
And no, it has nothing to do with smegma. I hope.
Smeg off.
