Swear Words That Aren’t Swear Words

[slo]

I thought of this as I was making my lunch and dropped something. When that happens I say “Bugger” instead of other things, that I’ve been known to say on occasion too

So…do you have your own version of swearing without swearing (I don’t know what else to call it).
Or
Do you say the every day ones - shoot, darn or others?

Just curious and this is all in good fun

Around certain people I have no problem using the actual swear words and I will admit to having a potty mouth. Other times I might say “Oh fudge” or “crap”.

Oh my mother has a ton of them....none of them make sense...."Son of a sea cook sailor" is one of her faves. "For the love of Pierre" is another.

I don't think she actually cursed in front of me until I was in my 30s.

"Mother lovin' son of a duck!"

That reminds me - I say “fudgesicle” a lot

Oh rats.

My BFF's uncle taught us to say, "Porkachoo." It sounds dirty, but it doesn't mean anything.

In context, he would say, "oh, porkachoo, Jane."

"Son of a motherless goat"
"Crabapples"
"Oh fudge"
All extra special when I yell them out loud while playing soccer

Any Outlander fans here?



My mother left out the Roosevelt, but would often say the same thing, lol.

My students get a kick out of the fact that I pepper my lectures with various words mainly because it's just how I talk. My mother finds it quite funny.

Other times I will swear in foreign languages. Far fewer people find it offensive if I yell out Pierdolić!! instead of F---!

I leave out the Roosevelt, but add 'Christ on a Crutch'

Oh Fudge & Fudgesicles have come out of my mouth when kids are around, although I must admit I've always had a bit of a potty mouth. It runs in my family. As I mentioned to Lord M on another thread, my Aunt who was a Nun taught us more than a few zingers, including the above.

Me too. People are shocked when they have heard me and my kid's mom drop F-bombs in front of my kid as they were growing up. But you know what? The kid never swears at all.

Ever since Battlestar galactica reboot:
Frack

Much more satisfying than Fudge due to the hard consonant at the end

When the kids were growing up and DH or I wanted to "flip each other the bird" we'd say "tweet, tweet." Extra points if said very sweetly. Took the kids a while to catch on.

Crud's a favorite, as is "for the love of Pete."

I say Gees Louise all the time which husband thinks is hilarious and we say Arg a lot!!!

I say that all the time!!! I thought it was just me. People just look at me strangely lol. My DH though swears like a sailor but the kids never did. My older ones used to take and flick their fingers at the little one and they would come running to me that big brother “ flicked him off” and be really upset (even though they had no clue what any of it meant) funniest thing ever

I have a sailor's mouth, but I have been known to rein it is once in a while and I can go with the "mother fudge trucker" or a "son of a motherforking biscuit".

For some reason, when my kids were little, my words of choice were "MurphyBalls". I can't recall if it was something one of them said or where it came from. But...it worked.
