A writer friend of mine was asking about this, and I didn't know the answer. If anyone would, I would imagine it to be my fellow lettering geeks:

Is there a term for the classic comics curses, like "$*@%!"?

I've only seen them referred to as "curse symbols" or "cursing symbols."

I've always called them, "Cuss Marks" -- don't know if there's an offical term, but I guess that's as good as any.
