is this actually more offensive than the swearing itself?

naw, it's just lame.

It offends my sense of humor.

I prefer "son of a female dog" myself. It just rolls offf the tongue.

A friend of mine in High School used to say that...!

Fuck that.

that's what I was afraid of.

But I need some sort of alternative to saying "motherfucker!" in front of my kids.
Any suggestions?

I prefer "son of a motherfuckin' biscuit eatin' bitch!"

but that kind of defeats the purpose huh? Maybe I should eat a bar of soap...or maybe just a piece of that gum:




To clean up my potty mouth!

That works

I don't like "cursing alternatives"

I say just don't curse. And if it slips every so often just explain it. Sometimes it happens and I think kids (unless they're REALLY young) have heard or will hear MUCH worse at school or with their friends. Have you visited a playground lately? Kids use disgusting language toward each other!

Honestly I think the sentiment behind the curse word is worse than the actual word.

a guy I work with says 'son of tatum o'neil'. I don't know why. And I've somehow taken up my mother's habit of yelling 'god bless america!' in a very angry voice. It's utterly silly. But I can't stop.

I agree totally. It's the sentiment. So I try a goofball "blazes!" now and then - which comic book I got this from, I don't remember. It doesn't really roll off the tongue, though.

Right, "GOD BLESS AMERICA!" I say that all the time too!

It's not. I always say, "Son of a biscuit!" when I'm in public and don't want to cuss. Hey, if it's good enough for Tricky in "Under the Cherry Moon", then it's good enough for anybody.

ohhh... I'm SO stealing that!

I just thought of this story: One day at work, one of my bosses got pissed off about something, and he hollered out, "Cheese and rice!". The girl who sits behind me and I had to laugh quietly without making it obvious that we were laughing at him. I was the funniest thing we'd ever heard.

for some reason it always makes me angry when people use "cursing alternatives"

I don't know why.

Me too, you gotta admit that God Bless America shit is funny though!

It's a really shit thing to do. Just fucking swear you cunt.

Fuck that shit! That's monkeyfucker stupid.
