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

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

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.

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?!?"

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.
:blush:

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.

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!

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"!!!!
