Here is a tip for writers of fantasy or sci-fi, just make words up. Invent slang. There is nothing more jaring and unoriginal than having your character say "fuck you".
I thought of this when hearing the slang phrase "joboy" in Neuromancer by William Gibson.

How to reverse a swastika that you can't remove. 1. Make sure the coast is clear 2. Connect the outside lines. Go over them so the old ones aren't visible anymore. 3. Draw a rectangle or square in the top right corner to make L. Divide diagonally but leave room in the top right corner. Divide unevenly in the bottom left. The right side should be skinny for an i. Divide the bottom right in half. 4. Make the shapes into letters spelling Love Wins. 5. Add colour as needed. Hooray! You just did a crime!
The villain doesn't necessarily have to be an actual moustache-twirling, volcano-lair baddie. But they must represent something the MC opposes at the their core.
