Every good conlang has a repository of strong expletives. But what minced oaths and mild curses does your language have?

Sorry, I should be more clear. I'm looking for weak expletives or minced oaths, like "shoot" or "darn" or even "fiddlesticks", not strong ones.

Three topics were the primary focus of Ksreskézaian insults: intelligence, sexual prowess, and the ability to wage war effectively. As the mainstream Lilitai are largely pacifists, the mere mention of war is often disquieting. Similarly, sexuality-related insults tend to be relegated to slut-shaming, as a volatile love life is regarded as a threat to their (sometimes shaky) social stability.

(Note that -u is merely lexical in Lilitika and should be replaced with -a, -e or -o when forming insults for feminine, neuter, or masculine targets. -í indicates an adjective.)

Insults and curse words marked with * are conservative, i.e. most Lilitai would not use them or necessarily even see them as offensive, but the Mitradzhethíasa (Ksreskézaian loyalists) would.

The censors (golmipequíai) may not always disapprove of certain words, e.g. gegloko, if the context is appropriate.

Non-expletive insults
berízu – one who has made a mistake (barely an insult)
gewonu – fool
aleghurí – nonsentient
soléghurí – almost nonsentient
gendamotí – haphazard
gendikí – uninspired
hakezu – wimp
khoskezu – head-shaker
masteksu – baby-head (i.e. newbie)
alísogezu – rapist
alestillindrezríu – blasphemer
alaksekwíu – sycophant
albedekwíu – professional idler
ilú mí altívere sithé – to talk like a computer, droning on boringly
mokalva – one who is infertile
fembúku – cancer
fentetu – tumour

Mild expletives (use discouraged by censors)
venzê – curses!
alíegezu – coward
kolema – heartbreaker; promiscuous person; compulsive liar
géloho – skirmish (bowdlerized version of "gegloko")
ptu – broken piece of junk, although this is also the diminutive ending, -iptu
gontúatí – wasted
iflúkwíu – scourge
kadzhíra – slave (sometimes an autonym of the Mitradzhethíasa)
slokdtaba – slave
múbezu* – bleeder
nepro – meat (implies cannibalism)
dilezu – raincloud (frequent crier)
aléhezu – one who makes it difficult or impossible to function

Not-so-mild expletives (use strongly discouraged by censors)
ptekkha – pain
skaoksní – foolish, accursed, cowardly
skaoberlí – foolish and treacherous
sofindré múbalurí baradôkes – make love to a rusty blade
vatúla – lady-parts (with implications of "hole".)
gegloko – war (particularly due to its history as a war cry)
geglokthíu – warmonger
gegloksnu – one who wages war in a cowardly manner
tsoigloksnu – one who wages war using trickery
íntsno – backstabber
tratbagu* – pink-skinned (with implications of unworthiness.)
ríñkolro - meat (implies cannibalism)

Strength of an insult differs wildly from person to person, and group to group. Let it all in.

As for your preferred topic, look into taboo deformation.

Possibly some Tzuman stuff to follow, this has my mind tinkering now.

I would use nanka in mild circumstances. Generally speaking, the vocative ya would also be useful in mild situations.

ya mita
Oh, dog!

ya tam nakam
Oh, you (darn) women.

No root words of 2L are vulgar.  Why would anything in the sacred language, modeled on the perfect Forms, be unspeakable?

Actually, there are several.  Just about anything connected to the goddess Hubris could be considered impure or vulgar in a sense, and that's a good chunk of the vocabulary (over 1/16th of the words).  By that measure, some examples would be qjj̀v "(to be) impure, tainted", hjv̄rg "demon", qrv̀jn "zero, nothing", ʔj̀ʔ "descendant", xvv̀v "human", frj̄j (the extradistal introductory pronoun)...

Special mention has to go to ʔj̄j though, which falls so far down the order it doesn't even get an attached meaning.  Its different tone homophones also tend to get censored (fortunately this is easy, as they are only used in magic and Names).  Names containing ʔj́j are often considered unlucky or cursed.

In Karathnai (Salthan) there are no explicit words perse, and there is no equivlent to the F word. (though honestly I'm not sure that makes much sense, and maybe someone would invent a course word for sex.).
Note: | is a click.

thed - crap!
|aka - Idiot!/Liar!)
usergs |akausher - Go to hell ("the unknowing low place")
usergs (tosa) - Damn (you) (literally "go down", though there's no sexual connotations to this.)

More Strong/Explicit
dokshidas - Prostitute/Whore/One who visits a Whore
dokeshidasusapa - Son of a prostitute/One who visits a whore
kalnesekas thed - dung eater
ynulusapa/ynulusapi - bastard (lit. "son of the saddle") / (female version)
kesi - Female Kes (a large reptilian beast. Akin to "bitch" in our world)
kesiusapa - Son of a Kes
skene - Human word for "Skin" with inanimate object affix. Slur against humans.
ulasoliusher - butt-lickers (slur against Sulvanians, who are cat-people)
