Favorite Swears: Family Edition

[intheflow]

Since the moderators deleted the lively discussion about favorite swear words due to sexist language, I thought maybe we could play a G-rated version.

[GreenPartyVoter]

1. Still Farquar for me *g*

[intheflow]

16. But of course.

I should have remembered... but then, it was deleted, so how the Farquar was I supposed to remember? :crazy:

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. *lol*

[meegbear]

2. Oh Fiddle Faddle!

[intheflow]

13. This is the favorite family swear word poll, NOT

the favorite family junk food poll! ;) :P :silly:

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. What? What kind of *bleeping* *bleep* of a *bleep* is this poll?

I mean what the *bleep*!?

:evilgrin:

[intheflow]

7. You mean WTF, don't you?

:evilgrin:

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. No, I mean what the *bleep*

:wtf: is wrong with you?

:silly:

[intheflow]

11. Blame it on my seminary education.

O8) :evilfrown:

:evilgrin:

[Beware the Beast Man]

4. Poppycock!

Gee-willikers!

[Burma Jones]

5. Fiddle Dee Dee

Or Fiddle Dee F'ing Dee.................

[intheflow]

9. You've been watching "Gone With The Wind" again, haven't you?

"Laws, Miz Scarlett, you cain't go running around like that!"
"Oh, fiddle-dee-dee, Mammy!"

If Scarlett was real, she'd have been saying "Fiddle-dee-f'ing-dee!"

[aden_nak]

6. I went with "Dang" but really, "Dag, yo!" is the quote of choice.

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. When my mom is being silly she says, "well heck fire."

hehehe :7

[da_chimperor]

12. Futt Bucker, my mom always cracks up when I say it

I say it instead of 'shit'.

[intheflow]

18. My mohter would still smack me upside the head if I said that!

And I'm 40 years old! :wow:

[da_chimperor]

19. The first time I said it, she started to get angry, then laughed once she

realized what I had said.

[vikegirl]

14. Holy guacamole!

[intheflow]

20. Can't believe I forgot to include this one.

This is what we said as kids in my house. Growing up in white, suburban New England, I had no idea what guacamole was until I was well into my 20's--I thought it was a made up word.

Related childhood swear for me was "Holy Moly Cacciatore!" Again, I had no clue I was swearing using food.

I had such a sheltered, bland-tasting childhood! :nopity:

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Criminy!

My mom's favorite swear word

[intheflow]

23. Jiminy Cricket!

Both are variations on the original "Jesus Christ/Christ" blasphemous taking the Lord's name in vain thing.

As a completely unrealted side note, I always thought it was interesting that Jiminy Cricket was Pinocchio's conscience. Between that, Pleasure Island (Soddom and Gamorrah), and the whale (Jonah) scenes, watching Pinocchio is like a little Disney Bible primer. Oh how insideously Christianity is indoctrinated into our culture! :tinfoilhat:

[On the Road]

21. Holy Mackerel!

Although my mother tells me that when I was two or three years old, I didn't know any swear words. So when I got mad and wanted to yell something foul, I would shout the techinical word she taught me for the disgusting thing I could think of, which was a raw egg white: "ALBUMEN!"

[intheflow]

24. Albumen!

Did you sneeze? God bless you! :silly:

[On the Road]

22. dupe

[fluffernutter]

25. "crap(ola)!" and "good gravy!"

[intheflow]

26. "shine and shinola" and "good grief"

"Shine and shinola" is how we escaped mother's wrath instead of saying crapola, though I'll admit, my older sister made sure to use crapola every other word out of mom's earshot.

She also said "good grief" a lot. I like "good gravy" better, myself. Much tastier than grief! :thumbsup:

[lapislzi]

27. Crumbs!

Great Caesar's ghost!

Holy ________ (fill in the blank), Batman!

[yellowdogintexas]

28. "Holy Moses", "Great Scott", "Good Grief"

and my grandmother's favorite "Holy Loving Mother"

according to my mom, my other grandmother's favorite was "Hell's bells and panther tracks"

others; " No Stuff!" "Son of a gun"

Wouldn't know her head from a hole in the ground

datblameit!

[nutsnberries]

29. boogers

[msgadget]

30. I voted for doggone it

but I also like 'digdamdarn it!' Does that count as g-rated? Also, foooooosh (rhymes with whoosh), but only through clinched teeth.

[bettyellen]

31. jesus, mary and joseph!

my parents always loved that one.

[intheflow]

37. You're a nice Catholic girl, I take it?

O8)

[bettyellen]

44. Eleven years in a plaid uniform... but i'm not nice and an atheist at 8 !

i faked the confirmation and used to write papers on how god was dead constantly.
they just kept sending me to the guidence counselor.

[intheflow]

47. Wow!

You sound just like all of my best friends! :hi:

I missed Catholic school, but married a Catholic school boy, so hooked in with his friends. I don't know one of them that attend church or actively believe, and we're now all in our 40's. They've only been back to be married or have the kids baptized--because their parents wouldn't shut up otherwise.

[bettyellen]

60. hey, aren't you in/ on the way to DC...

if you go, pls say hi to andy , faye , will, hoot n holler.... susan (scubed) and omg, all of em.
wish i could be there. hope you make the meet up. they are great people.

[intheflow]

70. Man, if I knew what they looked like....

I kept looking at the crowd today wondering who was DU. No way of knowing, really. I didn't know about any meet up. :shrug:

Although I did run into a friend of mine who went to school with me in Denver and now lives in DC. She was doing support for the die-in.

I'll post the picture as soon as I get the film developed. :hi:

[Sympleesmshn]

33. Cheese and Rice!

[intheflow]

38. Well, I thought I'd heard them all, but...

where did "cheese and rice!" as a exclamation come from?

D'oh! I'll bet it's 'cuase it sounds like the name the fundies love best. I actually like this psydo-swear. I'm adopting it into my vocabulary..

[webjamn]

34. Judas Priest

My dad used to use this one a lot. And this was before the band used this name. When he would hear any rock music he would say it sounded like they were having a gallbladder attack.

[tjwmason]

35. Are we restricted to one only?

I do like to employ some variety in my swearing, even if it is my ersatz-swearing.

Yikes, golly gosh, deary me.

[intheflow]

42. No word limit restrictions as long as you keep it clean.

But who could take offense at stringing Yikes, golly gosh, and dearly me together? Not I.

[meow2u3]

36. Holy mackarel!

Nyit (my grandpa's made-up word for sh*t)

[Seabiscuit]

[Seabiscuit]

40. Aw, Cheney it!!!

[orleans]

41. bull....oney

[Kire]

43. Bad Mother Father

What does Marcellus Wallace look like?

Does he look like a female dog?

Then why did you try to copulate with him like a female dog?

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

45. "Gosh darn it - shoot!"

One of the radiologists I used to work for said that all the time.

[Dave Reynolds]

Mother Father sister and brother

[July]

52. Wrackin', frackin' varmints!

Which I convinced my children was the worst thing you could call someone. Worked till they were about 5 years old. It was damned hard to keep a straight face when they said it.

[Butterflies]

53. "Shoot!"

I still say that a lot. Also "rats".

[Nye Bevan]

54. BARNACLES! (from Spongebob)

[ucmike]

Oh Raspberries!

[musette_sf]

66. all of the Christian variety

"Jesus Christ!"
"Christ!"
"For Christ's sake!"
"Goddammit!"
"Oh hell!"

My parents got straight to the point. They thought the neighbor lady who would say "Oh, H-E-two-sticks!" was quaint.

[maveric]

67. None of the above from where I grew up.

And my fear of being banned will prevent me from posting the favorites.

[Tikki]

[arwalden]

You have violated my farging rights. Dis somanumbatching country was founded so that the liberties of common patriotic citizens like me could not be taken away by a bunch of fargin iceholes... like yourselves.
