When you want to cuss (or swear or curse...) but can't, what do you say?

[Tazicket]

Forgot to add, I also use "Caboodle" in place of other words for rear end. Thank you Scrubs.

DD8 says "Good Godfrey" all the time.

I swear.

I thought that you were swearing (as in insisting) that she really says that.

I do swear, and I do swear.

One of my daughter's friends is LDS and in her home, they aren't allowed to use words like "heck" and "darn" because they are sound-alike replacements for the "real" swear words. They say, "Oh, cheddar."

A particularly ballsy old co-worker of mine used to tie up frustrating phone calls with women with "allright, so I'll *see you next Tuesday*" and then hang up. I never heard any fallout from that so most of them must have been

Ooh, that one usually flies out when I get road rage! When I'm not cussing:

crap
dangit
fustercluck

Fudge, Crap, Felgercarb (another Battlestar Galactica word), Son of a Sea Cook (got that from a former co-worker). When I do use the biggies everyone knows a very PO'd. I let a string go one day and someone said they didn't think I knew those kind of words.

Well, I say 'Mensch!' which was considered a very bad word in our house growing up ('Man!') As a child, I loved to play the classic German board game 'Mensch ärgere dich nicht' because it contained a 'bad' word.

And I loved that coffee commerical 'Man, that's coffee!' because they used a bad word

I'm really a bad girl, aren't I?

Ok - I still don't understand.
I did a babelfish translation and it came up with this:

Mensch ärgere dich nicht
Humans do not annoy you

What part of that was your mom opposed to and why? I am so confused!!

 

[bavaria]

'Man, don't get upset'. the board game is like 'sorry' in North America

I still don't really know why 'MAN' upsets my mother; maybe it is just the fact that someone feels the need to say something? Whenever my father says 'Mensch!' my mother says 'Don't say 'Mensch'!' in German

I've never heard my mother swear

Ya know, the words you say instead...

Mine are really boring. I say darn and shoot. The most colorful one is "ace", but I didn't know it was a substitute cuss word until my youngest son thought that it was a real cuss word and wanted to know why someone was on American Idol with the name of a bad word. I finally got him to say Ace. Eventually I figured out why he thought that...when I'm driving I say, "way to go, ace!" or "out of my way, ace".

My sister says "son of a biscuit eater", which makes me giggle.

So help me spice up my vocabulary.

I thought I was the only one that said that!

I also say:

Son of a sea horse
fudge
freakin

 

[6TimeMomma]

My latest, after watching a YouTube video, are "Hagrid's buttcrack" and "unicorn turds!"

 

[Lynn CC]

I say Geewizikers, it drives people crazy but it just comes out, it's better than some things people say LOL

If I'm really mad dog gone it comes out of somewhere in a mean way!

 

[Tigger&Belle]

I thought I was the only one that said that!

Maybe you're really my sister.

I dated a guy in highschool who enjoyed making up fake swear words (OK, OK, no comments on my dating life! ).

Anyway, his favorite was shy-sta. If you get really mad then it's shy-sta, ma-lie-sta, fy-sta.

I find myself thinking about him quite a bit these days with a 3 year old running around! "Mommy, why you say shy-sta?"

When not using that lovely combo, I have been know to say most of what is posted above. The best one I heard recently on "So You Think You Can Dance" when Benji's sister said "Shut the Front Door" - that was my favorite one in Junior High! Maybe I'll bring that one back out of retirement...

And, I'm going to have to add this one to my list:

oh for the love of mary margaret's dirty underwear....i

 

[jbmom]

Peas and rice is the one I use the most. God bless america is the other one that slips out regularly.

 

[Cindyluwho]

You guys have great ones!! This thread is awesome!
My step-moms favorite is "God all Fish-hooks" and sometimes she says, "Oh, for crying in the night!" Those are so funny to me.

Every since I saw "Boys on the Side" my favorite swear word is "hoo-hoo". I get a little chuckle every time use because even though I swear - I would never use the real word unless someone was beyond nasty.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

The curses they used on Firefly are among my favorites and "Bloody" (thank you Spike from BtVS!)

Wish I could curse in Welsh after Torchwood, Ianto might have great curses.

Sugar Beets....why, I don't know, it just came flying out one day in front of kids...
