Sigh ... no, that's a common SF convention, widely used in novels and all sorts. Swap an existing term for a 'futuristic' one ...
Besides, 2000AD started out very firmly as a kiddies' comic and ''Drokk' , 'Grud' and 'Stomm' were an easy way to make it look like the characters were swearing without getting the comic banned.
You really are squirming to avoid dealing with the point ...
