inspired by snowbrite's new tag....what do you say

[txSleepingBeauty]

to stop your self from cursing? I'm a curser, have been since I learned how to talk, but I'm trying to break that habit (at least in public) and I've come up with different epithets when needed.

Usually for me it's either "Shillelagh" or "son of a monkey"

the other thing we use in my family is "bunny" as a substitute for any and all curse words. unfortunately soon my niece is going to start yelling "what the bunny!!!!" at school one day and freak her teachers out.....

so anybody else have any creative curses?

well, ds is almost 2 so he is starting to mimic EVERYTHING we say! So far, so goood ... no bad words yet! I have started saying frickle frackle ... no idea where that came from. Lately, it has just been " Oh, My" ... today, I turned a corner a tad too fast and I heard a "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH MIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" from the backseat! It was B/C usually he only says that when I say it ...

Lynette, my son is the same age and he's getting really bad about the mimicing. I accidentally said oh **** the other day in the car and I hear it over and over again the rest of the way to my kids school, was praying he wouldn't say it at school.

Lets see, words I use to keep from cussing... I say son of a biscuit eater, God Bless America, oh carp, flipping or fudge instead of the f word... but I do slip and cuss a little more then I should :-(

shoot darn heck fudge darn peanut butter!


Try it - it's surprisingly satisfying.

I think the big one for me would be====SUM-UN-A-HUM-A

 

[grinningghost]

Son of a... and I gotta just shut up or the wrong word comes out.

The "son of a biscuit eater" is one that I'd mentioned in that thread that my sister says.

I usually say the normal shoot, darn, etc. All the boring ones. Lately I've been saying flippin, but I think it has to do with having teens in the house.

Then I say goofy expresssions like, "what in the wide world of sports?".

There must be more, but I can't think of them now that I'm trying.

I almost really cursed at Costco on Friday. I bought a bunch of little things--nothing major and the total came to almost $200. I almost said, "How in the hell did this cost $200?". I could not believe how close I came to talking that way. Very unlike me to say that (something I would think, but not almost say). At least I caught myself in time.

I must say "good grief" alot because my kids have started saying it. But first they asked me to make sure it wasn't a bad word.

I say something "burns my biscuits" instead of it "pisses me off".

DH's "s" word is "sheba"

I like that "Son of a biscuit eater" I'm going to have to use that one!

Try the word from my post above yours---it works wonders!!!

 

[Servants of Evan]

I just stick with "Oh, Boogers." Lately it has become a thing with my son. He'll sneeze somewhere in the house and when we yell, "Bless you" he'll yell back, "No Boogers, just spray!"

Thanks to the Higgley Town Heros my new term is "Pickles". It seems to to the job. Now I just need to play closer attention to the radio. Is it wrong that my DC's can sing to Gwen and the Black Eyed Peas?

 

[Snow Brite]

Wow...what a day! New tags, inspiring posts...tomorrow is going to be SUCH a let down!

We are creative cussers here. My kids love the SpongBob ones...Barnacles! and Tartar Sauce! are very satisfying.

I say sugar for the s-word and fudge instead of the f-word and if something is really bad I say Well Fudgesicle! Yesterday I dropped the big round container of oatmeal and it spilled on the kitchen floor. I said Oh fudge! And my 6 year old who was standing behind me says...Sicle!

I still love Son of a Mother. And sometimes...Son of a Banana. My Aunt always says...Oh for crying in a bucket! And reminds us not to Have a fit and fall in it! (a tantrum).

Fiddlesticks is a good one. Phooey. Flapjack. Bananas.

And of course my beloved Oh for the LOVE of peanut butter.

I can't think of any more right now. But I am sure there are more.

Son of a Biscuit

 

[MinnyGranny62]

I will have to try some of these, maybe then I won't get DGS's
not to say Grandma's cussing again.

 

[Michelle2]

These are all so funny. I love the sum un a hu-ma....lol

I know that one that me and my kids say alot that I just love is "OUCHIES!!" We got it from Action League Now--a show that used to be on cartoon network. LOL
We really got a kick out of it. Even my 3 year old always says it. These are all great!

I've used son of a biscuit eater for many years. Always saves my butt when I'm thinking of cussing. Oh frick and frack comes out a lot too. My dear mother use to say shinola when she really meant crapola. You get the drift.

 

[2Princes2Princesses]

DD is a mimic too. She repeated DH about a week ago and he saved the day by saying back to her:
"yes....OH CHEEZIT'S!!" (I am sure you can guess what he ACTUALLY said the first time)

I had to admit....good save on his part.

Now everything around here is OH CHEEZ-ITS!
