Parenthetical Swearing	comment	This language trope is most common to family fare: A character's spoken line contains no profanity whatsoever, but the tone and phrasing used by the actor is so obvious that the audience will hear the intended profanity just the same. This trope does not include made-up swear words or Last-Second Word Swap. The line is spoken with perfectly mundane words and the actor's inflection, tone and facial expression is what conveys the more intense and profane parenthetical. Super-trope to Witch with a Capital "B". Often shows up in Bowdlerized or TV-dubbed versions of movies. It also occurs a lot in the political arena. Compare Stealth Insult, Precision F-Strike. Not to be confused with Narrative Profanity Filter, where a character really does swear—it just doesn't appear directly in the text, or with Mondegreen Gag, which is when a character doesn't swear, but a word they say can be misheard as a swear word.

Parenthetical Swearing / int_10321784	comment	Fenrich from Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten has two catchphrases that are meant to compliment his Lord Valvatorez — "All is for my Lord" and "X is one of my Lord Valvatorez's many formidable powers." However, while he does use them to legitimately praise Val, he uses them just as often for whenever Val says or does something stupid (which happens a lot) with a very weary tone. It's easy to see the phrases as Fenrich more or less saying "Goddamnit, Lord Val!"

To name a few, "the Blasted Oak", "the Bleeding Ceremony" and "the Old Cock" — the first and last being a street and a pub, and the one in the middle being the name of a wedlock ritual. Say these three phrases out loud like it's a parenthetical swear if you don't believe us.

When Susan learns what happened, she calls Lobsang "you hero!" in the same tones someone would say "you idiot!" Additionally, in Interesting Times, one of the Silver Horde is the subject of Saveloy's attempts to make him stop swearing every single sentence. He manages to make him use Unusual Euphemisms instead, but then it is observed that he could turn the air blue just by saying "socks" (which becomes Hilarious in Hindsight once you read Monstrous Regiment). Especially funny because Saveloy, who's the one who put together the swearword conversion chart, is the only one who knows what he's TRYING to say when he uses an Unusual Euphemism. We don't get a translation, but the thing that he translated to "misbegotten wretch" was apparently pretty shocking. In Wyrd Sisters, Duke Felmet is described as the sort of person who gets more polite and restrained the angrier he gets, to the point where he can give the cutting edge of a severe dressing-down to the phrase "Thank you very much." In The Truth, Sacharissa can say "you utterly ungrateful person" like it's a curse. Night Watch has a Sergeant who doesn't swear for religious reasons, so uses this trope to compensate. At one point he calls a bunch of militia recruits "You sons of mothers!" Snuff shows that coppers learn to inflect "Sir" so that it sounds like "trembling arsehole".

Bobby and "Dollar" Bill are having a conversation inside a soundproof room with glass walls so people on the outside can see everything happening inside but cannot hear what is being said. The two men are having a tender moment where they are telling each other that they are like brothers and would do anything for each other. However, their body language makes it seem like they are having an extremely nasty shouting match full of swearing and obscenities. It's part of a Batman Gambit to make a rival investment firm try to recruit Bill who then can feed them false information about Bobby's business dealings.

He manages to make him use Unusual Euphemisms instead, but then it is observed that he could turn the air blue just by saying "socks" (which becomes Hilarious in Hindsight once you read Monstrous Regiment). Especially funny because Saveloy, who's the one who put together the swearword conversion chart, is the only one who knows what he's TRYING to say when he uses an Unusual Euphemism. We don't get a translation, but the thing that he translated to "misbegotten wretch" was apparently pretty shocking.

In other places, people take the self-malefactory oath, "May God do thus and so to me (and more besides!) if...", with the words "thus and so" standing in for the actual curse. And in 1 Samuel 20, King Saul realizes that his own son Jonathan is more loyal to rival for the throne David than he is to him. Some translations render his words to Jonathan as "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman!" This...doesn't really hide his real meaning.

Parenthetical Swearing / int_ccf875f7	comment	Emily Prentiss from Criminal Minds has an uncanny ability to make the phrase "Yes, ma'am" sound like a particularly blunt and vicious "Fuck you sideways and the horse you rode in on too". Apparently, she picked it up from one of their FBI consultants. It's a habit you get into when you know every word you say is going to be tape-recorded...but that the recording will then be typed up as a transcript that won't catch tone of voice.
