I had to look it up:
"struth - (sometimes spelt strewth) – expression of shock or dismay (replaced by stronger expletives such as "f*ck!" or "sh*t!"). Possibly of Shakespearean origin, "God's Truth". Also heard occasionally in the English Cockney dialect. Other older expletives of English origin such as "cripes," "my oath" and "blimey" are also dying out." From wikipedia.
Atticat - it's not so bad as all that...blood and circuses...eewww. Maybe just a stormy forum? Sailing is quite smooth on social still.
