I say "geez" a lot, which I've occasionally been told is actually slouching toward blasphemous.

But honestly, I don't yet have the restraint to be satisfied by anything other than swear words when I really want to use one.

I rarely curse at all in life (other than saying ass quite a bit lately)

My common f-bomb replacements are 'friggin', 'effin', 'fudge', and 'flippin'



Last time I said 'fuck' I was at a party and everybody around me looked up like a ghost had just walked in the room and one of my friends was like "oh my gawd, say that again, hearing you swear is giving me a boner"

There is no rhyme or reason to when I cuss and when I don't. "Mutha eff that shit!" often comes out of my mouth. I make a concerted effort not to use "God" or "Jesus" with a negative connotation.

I also say "jinkies," "zoiks" and "wowzers" a lot.

do you also give out Scooby snacks?

thekidsgirl said:

The first two are Scooby but the latter...

"Nuts!"

and

"KHAAAAN!"

I do say "balls" a lot.

I usually don't replace them...although I just replaced "bitches" with "women" on a thread.

I know. I'm too radical.
But, it was in direct response to some women who were being quite assholic. Even then I couldn't bring myself to do it...may Gloria Steinem be blessed.

I've always liked...


"Oh, hamburgers!"

...and often use that expression.

Otherwise, no substitutions for me, just the real thing. Healthy and all-natural!

i sometimes say "freaking heck!" but that's only a sort of inside joke in reference to the hilarity of really censored movies and the like.

on occasion if someone annoys me or does something really bizarre i'll call them a meatball, but i really don't see that as a substitute for anything other than another similarly ridiculous name. usually if a swear word pops into my mind i say it, except in the presence of children, in which case the word becomes whatever i think of at that moment.

i say the very same curse words in portuguese instead of english....does that count? no one ever knows what i'm saying except my husband, it's great! hehehe!

Frick instead of fuck
Crap instead of shit, fuck, goddamn
Crap nuggets instead of shit, fuck, goddamn
Shidoobie instead of shit
effing is used as an adjective instead of fucking.
a-hole instead of asshole.
Christ on crutches instead of Jesus Christ.

i went through a phase of saying merd (german, i think) for shit.

i think that it still counts though.

Jeezo for Jesus
Crikey for Christ (that ones rubbish but it keeps my mother happy)
And my favourite,
Balderdash for bollocks

i used to say jesus christ a lot, and started to feel bad so instead i'd say.... cheese and rice
and people loved it, it was just quirky i guess...
other faves: shizz, shiezen, sugar, fack, frig, friggen, crud, cruddy, crap, fiddlesticks, bullocks

Gosh, golly, shoot, shucks, crap, friggen, jimminy crickets, jees louise,
fiddlesticks and the list goes on.

My dad used to say sugar and fudge..but I never really got into that

freakin and gosh
