Kark, along with its variations "karking" and "karked," functioned as a curse word within the galaxy. While in pursuit of Keefar Branto within the depths of the Coruscant Underworld, Sian Holt exclaimed, branding him a "karking fexsnatcher." On the planet Sergia, Warba Calip uttered "kark it" in frustration when a speeder she was attempting to steal was disabled by its rightful owner. The pirate Maz Kanata, alongside her associate Sav Malagán, voiced their displeasure using the term "kark star." "Karkbucket" served as an offensive term, exemplified by the phrase "Eat it, karkbuckets!"
The phrase "sure as kark" was employed for emphasis; for instance, "there sure as kark ain't no Red Ghost." Furthermore, "kark" could denote insults, as seen in the statement "You don't get to say kark about Sana's and my relationship." The expression "to kark up" signified the act of botching something. Alys Ongwa used the term "kark tower" in conversation with Krix Kamerat.
Around 228 BBY, Sevran Tarkin, visibly annoyed, voiced her disapproval of her uncle, Tragkul Tarkin, who persistently referred to himself as the "Vanquisher of the Carrion Plateau Veermok," dismissively labeling it "Carrion karkin' Plateau Veermok Vanquisher poodoo!"
