Well "smeg" is just from Red Dwarf but "smegma" is an actual word, and that's where they got the word from. They needed a futuristic swear word - Lister can't be someone who doesn't swear, but this was 1980s BBC - and they came up with that.

still. I was not even aware of its root word connotation. thanks for the insight.
