"Oh krik… I'm going to diiiiiiieeeee!!!"
―WAC-47 to himself[1]

Krik was a swear word similar to "hell,"[1] used by individuals such as Aurra Sing,[2] WAC-47, and an RX-series pilot droid.[1] When Sing was chasing Phaedra through space, she lost track of the Quaraxian criminal in the skies of Nar Shaddaa, and vented her frustration by shouting, "Where the krik did she go?!"[2] While WAC-47 was delivering a critical shipment of hygienic sheets to Home One, his GX1 short hauler got caught in a dangerous asteroid field. The little pit droid panicked and cried out, "Oh krik… I'm going to diiiiiiieeeee!!!" Shortly afterward, the astromech droid R2-D2 hijacked another GX1, forcing the RX-series pilot droid to take him to the planet Gallios. As they prepared to land, the pilot droid voiced its discontent by saying "As soon as we land, I want you the krik off my ship."[1]

Behind the scenes

"Krik" is phonetically similar to the real-world interjection "frick," which is a euphemism for the swear words "f*ck."[3]
