"Khren" is also a swear word. ;) Here is the proof.

Horseradish is a type of plant.

I confirm ;) it's exactly X! damn, my message isn't short!

Edited the post.
As for the plant, I know about it, but to be precise, when this phrase is used, it refers to a different lexical meaning of the word.

Who cares?)))

This Brack cursed us in the language of Cthulhu!!! Heretic, you... should be banned with a shovel)))

When I say "I don't know," I usually mean "hell," even when I have something completely different in mind))))

MAY CTHULHU TAKE YOU, YOU FILTHY ARANDOR!!!

FHTAGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when I say "ХЗ", I usually mean "Хрен" (a vulgar Russian word), even when I have something completely different in mind)))))))

This doesn't change anything, see above:(

Yeah...
Swearing is an integral part of Russian culture, just like hats are to American culture, tea drinking is to English culture, and unique architecture is to Eastern culture.
There's nothing you can do about it.
But go outside and approach a group of "gopniks," and you'll hear how people "express themselves."
Maybe after that, you'll be able to learn to distinguish swearing and insults from... a linguistic tool for expressing and emphasizing emotions.

And in general, I think the very concept of "swearing" is silly. What is swearing? A set of letters that make up a "word." Sounds.
If the development of language had gone in a slightly different direction, it is quite possible that the word "chair" or "brick" would now be terrible and extremely indecent.
So it's better not to even worry about it.

Yeah, and vodka and alcoholics are also an integral part of Russian culture, so let's stop judging them, okay? As for "brick" and "chair," if they were considered swear words, I would say that they are absolutely inappropriate expressions. But since swear words are different words, I judge those words.
And yes, about "gopniks" – they are the ones we should be taking as an example!

By the way, what game/book/movie are the Ar-Illithids from?

I haven't seen the movies, and I don't remember the books (they were also fantasy)... I've played a lot of games, mostly RPGs... Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, maybe (the whole Faerûn in general), maybe in Neverwinter Nights and similar games... I can definitely talk about BG2, because I remember that there was a secret Illithid lair under the city, which was very difficult to defeat, especially at the beginning (it was really tough).

Aha, got it :) It seems that Illithids were a signature joke of Black Isle – in one of their games, I came across a mention of this race as "tentacled ones," so they're basically our kind of people for our cult :)

I think Cthulhu was written about earlier than the Illithids were created.

Someone wrote about Cthulhu, and I think it was earlier than the Illithids were created.

I've already talked about this – check out the thread about our cult. Cthulhu is not a pathetic plagiarism of the Illithids; rather, the Illithids are a pathetic plagiarism of Cthulhu!
