Smeg

Naya... here is for your benefit... the meaning of smeg....





"Smeg is a mild vulgarism which reached prominence through its use as a supposedly inoffensive expletive in the British sci-fi/sit-com Red Dwarf. The word was used to replace almost every vulgar term used in the show's conversations, with the exception of the very mild. Additionally, the word itself had many variants, including "smegging" and "smeghead"[1].
The show's creator (Grant Naylor) has stated it was not related to a medical term and was a made up swear word. Also, the show has consistently claimed to know nothing of the word "smegma"[citation needed], and that "smeg" was entirely made up, sounding as it did like a generic, four-letter, single-syllable swear-word that might be used in the future (and so could be used in the programme in place of swear words that, at the time, would not usually be used in mainstream sitcoms).

In the "Let's Swear" item in Bachelor Boys, the Young Ones book, the character Rick, played by Rik Mayall, calls another character "smeg face"."

From Wikipedia....Hope this answers your question....
