In many of settings using swearing invoking the Gods is commonplace. What are some of the better ones you all have heard for Golarion?
1. dirty fist of Abadar
2. Besmara's crusty clam
3. swill of Cayden
Hee hee!
I don't have anything to add, but I like cursing. I think it's clever.

The only religious themed swear I've had a character use so far is;
although my Cleric of Nethys regularly refers to his god as 'two-faced,' which Nethys kind of is, on more than one level.
I've never written up a knight of Iomedae, but I could see one irreverently referencing 'Iomedae's impenetrable chastity belt!'

I once had a dwarf from the frigid lands of the Linnorn kings who exclaimed
"By Torag's beard it's colder than a frost giant's balls out here!"
Wouldn't the balls be one of the warmer parts of the body?
Well, depending on the type of underwear the frost giant is sporting. ;)
By Abadar's three golden balls!
(My logic is that if our world's pawnbrokers can borrow the balls from the Medicis who borrowed them from St. Nicholas, Abadar can borrow them in turn.)

Well my Realms characters would swear by 'Sune's left nipple' so that could be used.
I like as a slam on followers of Irori's self ascention "By Irori's perfected ego!"
"By Cayden's Codpiece."
"Well tie me up and call me a Kuthite!"
"By Sheylin's ample bosoom!"
"By Gorum's armored aft..."
My favorites: "Gods of Abyss!" and "Gods Of The Underworld!"

"Besmara's breasts!"
"By Besmara's blessed breath!"
"Colder than an ice devil's <insert body part to preference>"
"Son of a Calistrian whore!"
"Darker than Zon-Kuthon's <insert body part to preference>"
Thinking of more as I go on for S&S, where ridiculous cursing should be commonplace.
How about
Dirtier than Zon-kuthon's unwashed backside???
Good, but "Dirtier than Urgathoa's unwashed <insert body part to preference>" is more appropriate considering her domain is disease and filth.
Also "May Abyss devour you!"

Hellknight battle cry;
"Asmodeus take the hindmost!"
Other random exclamations;
"By Gozreh's nebulous nethers!"
"He as cold and treacherous as Besmara's salty bosum!"
"This place reeks of death, like the bony arse of Urgathoa!"
And for the boy gods, there's gotta be curses involving 'Gorum's spikey bits' and 'Old Deadeye's shaft.'
"By Besmara's briny britches!"
"Wrinkled as Gyronna's withered nethers!"

My personal favorite and used by far to many of my characters: "Desna's starry nipples."
Shelyn's massive mammaries!
A player with a dwarf fighter in our Kingmaker campaign recently came up with:
** spoiler omitted **
But my present character in ROTR likes to invoke all sorts of deific swearing, often mixing body parts and domains into the wrong diety.

I'd paraphrase one Lucius Vorenus substituting Abadar for Concordia but it would certainly violate PG-13 rating of the board.
Is it just me or am I sensing a theme here........

Not a curse or a boast but rather an Oath all in the Inner Courts of Cheliax adhere to:
"No respite, no quarter given, no pause in the struggle, until Andoran is ours again and General Gorthoklek teabags Talmandor."
There is also the Tian Xia curse based on this real world saying that goes like this:

My players have suggested "Cayden's hangover!" and "Cayden's bar tab!"
here are a few i just came up with on the spot
"i'm not a masochist, i'm just a Kuthite!"
"ever wonder why madness is governed by a bloody Goddess?"
"Desna Hates Me!"
"one day, i will unlock Iomedaes Chastity belt!"
"By Gorums Bloody Steel Spikes!"
"Again... Sarenrae has sent us to another hot, sandy, hell!"
"i'm so hungry, i could eat Erastil's Rump!"

"By the Nethys' shadow!"
"By the Nethys' Left Hand!" (i.e. dark magic)
"Geb's rotten balls!"
"Rahadoum's blessing" (sarcastic)
"Rovagug on you!" (alternative "Urgathoa on you!")
"By The Dark Beyond The Stars!"
"May the Asmodeus/Zon Kuthon chain you!" (depending upon region and subtle difference in meaning - Asmodeus suggest enslaving, Zon Kuthon trefers more to torment).
My only PbP character, an aged Oracle of Bones with the wasting curse who worships Pharasma (don't get me started...) was knocked unconscious in her very first combat. Her dream thoughts ran thusly:
"Pharasma, fickle mistress, do not take me!"
Thankfully she made her stabilization roll.

For Galt:"(Cursed One) for (Revolutionaíry Dictator Title)!"
You spawn of Rovagug!
You son/daughter/whatever of Lamashtu!
I will tell the Inevitables (or Hounds of Tindalos)!
Pazuz ...er...
For the villains: "I should have called myself adventurer!"
More of those innuendos:
Twosided Wand/Rod of Nethys!
I would also love to be Iomedae's 'sword'...
Key of Sire Adabar!
And Asmodeus puts his pen into the inkpot!
