Glan's paladin reminds me of my favorite curse from the voice set: "I am almost tempted to swear. . . ." Though, "Buttons and barn doors!" is pretty funny as well.

Mouse's voiceset has "Balls of a juggling ogre!"

It is amusing.

Balls of a juggling ogre!

It's so... Mouse-like, isn't it?

From Page 84 of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting:

All speaking peoples, including the humans of various lands, possess a native tongue. In addition, all humans and many nonhumans speak Common as a second language. Common grew from a king of pidgin Chondathan and is most closely related to that language, but it is far simpler and less expressive. Nuances of speech, naming, and phrasing are better conveyed in the older, more mature languages, since Common is little more than a trade language.

The great advantage of Common, of course, is its prevalence. Everybody in the Heartlands speaks Common well enough to get by in any but the most esoteric conversations. Even in remote areas such as Murghom and Samarach, just about everybody knows enough Common to speak it badly. They might need to point or pantomime in a pinch, but they can make themselves understood. Natives of widely separated areas are likely to regard each other's accents as strange or even silly, but they still understand each other.

Just thought I'd toss this in here to be a nuisance.

Update on FR literature examples:

In the Maztica trilogy someone (the dwarf again, actually) used the curse word "damn."
