Kriff

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

"If this thing's a hoax, it's a kriffing good one. If you'll pardon the language, sir."
―Colonel Bas, to Admiral Gilad Pellaeon[src]

Kriff was a vulgar expletive. Kriffing was a derogatory modifier based on the word Kriff.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Many fans believe that "Kriff" would probably best be translated into the real world expletive "fuck," or the synonymous "frick" as it is close to being an anagram of "kriff."

The words kriff or kriffing were used a number of times in the Dark Nest Trilogy of novels. Even Luke Skywalker used the word kriffing to refer to slicers when R2-D2 refused to let him see the contents of a protected memory area, and had gone so far as to damage himself. Luke had forgotten that his son Ben Skywalker was present, and when Ben asked Luke what kriffing meant, Luke remarked that Ben's mother would not be pleased that Ben overheard Luke using that word. Captain Lon Shevu of the Galactic Alliance Guard used the word often when on raids, as well as Han Solo.
