What's your favorite word to use when you can't swear (i.e. "Fudge")

[nyhuskyfan]

For some reason, I say "Pooter" all the time when something goes wrong at work. It's just a made-up swear word that I picked up on along the way. People always look at me like I have two heads when I say it.

[nytemare]

1. Poop!

To be honest, I usually just cuss. I try to keep from cussing, sometimes, though.

[Left_Winger]

2. I like to make contractions, such as...

fidiot, fupid, fugly, etc.

[Options Remain]

12. depends on the situation

rasnfrassin is good for general use. I enjoy the occasional 25 cent vulgarity such as infantile, contemptable, reprehensable, incompetent, scumsucking, Vile, etc...

I need something to piss me off to come up with good ones.

3. Mutha Fracker

My new favorite... Last nite's episode of Battlestar Galactica on sci fi had a scene where one character was shell shocked about the shooting of another, and she was pissed that the chief wouldn't say anything.... "Say something you mother fracker." They both burst out laughing, and the chief says "Mother Fracker?!?"

7. Oh Poodlefish!

To borrow it from my brother

[Misunderestimator]

8. Fuck

:D

9. I'm really good about stopping short of swearing

At my last job when had a problem with people watering fake plants. When I was first told about this I said, "What the?" Somebody who overheard me said, "Oh shit, I thought you were gonna say fuck! Fuck I just said shit! OMG I said shit and fuck!" I tried to be nice and console her but I couldn't help but laugh as she lost her mind and turned red.

10. After years of dropping the F-bomb on us as kids

my dad tried to switch to "farkway." We ridicule him for it to this day. I have managed not to adopt his use of "Jesus-jumped-up-Christ-on-a-sidecar." I don't even know what that means.

My mom (much tamer than dad) says "jeannie christmas," and that's only when she's very upset.

Mine? I guess I've used them all in mixed company--nuts, crud, shoot, foo--I've even said "golly" with a straight face.

11. flopping

or "Oh. . .the most versatile word in the English language. . . you."

There was a fantastic video file with this Brit elucidating the versatility of that paritcular word, accompanied by classical music with stick figures in various and some compromising postitions. . ."It can be a noun, a verb, a transitive verb, an adjective. . ."

I played it for my kid's friends and they were swearing that way for a couple months, got a grammar lesson, and didn't even get detention.

Was too funny.

13. sugar is popular with me now, as is Frack

frack is the battlestar galactica version of fuck.

[DemGirl7]

14. Fudge

I've been using it so long that It has replaced the swear words mostly I would use

[Dervill Crow]

15. Ratz!! n/t

[skygazer]

16. Son of a sea cook

Not sure where I got that one but it comes in handy.

[Lisa]

17. son of a Bush! (n/t)

[KittyWampus]

18. Rats! Ala Charlie Brown

[ikojo]

19. Crud....I get it from my older sister

says it in lieu of s***.



Oy vey is one I use instead of f***

[njdemocrat106]

20. Does "Scheisse" count?

Scheisse=Shit in German. Today though, I surprised myself when I shouted "Darn!" when I realized I didn't close the freezer door, and nobody was home to hear me!

[NV Whino]

21. Fork

But I most often use the real McCoy.

[Bleacher Creature]

22. My new favorite -- "Pfukked"

[jandrok]

23. "Jiminy Christmas" seems to work for me.

The kids picked up all of the swear words WAY too easily. I drew the line when my then 3 year old son dropped somthing in the kitchen, then stood there and said, very matter-of-factly, "DAMMIT"!!!!

[Seabiscuit]

24. "Oh, Fiddledysticks!"
