The word 'Smeg' was never inteded to be some kind of a running-joke,

couldn't.

Red Dwarf fans always seem overly defensive of the show...

If you actually watch it you will see that there isn't uprourious
laughter when the word is used, it's just a means to an end.
It's not intended to be like a cathphrase.

That's not being 'over defensive', it's just explaining how it is.
But then I get the impression you hardly watched any of it
anyway, so you wouldn't know.....
