What word do you most often use to replace a cuss word?
I use the word "fudge" a lot.

For example:
"What the fudge did you just say?"
"Who the fudge is this idiot?"
"Man, I am so fudged up right now!"

What's yours?

1. I use "Fuck" to replace fudge
Or sometimes I say "motherfucker" instead of stupid.

2. I replace curse words with other curse words...
I make allowances for people's sensibilities and replace 'em with British profanity, though. So I use "bloody" and "bugger" quite a bit. :)

8. Cruk
Virgin got the license to publish Doctor Who novels but the BBC objected to the authors using the word fuck, so they start using cruk as an all purpose swear word. I kinda liked it, so I use it.


Khash.

9. "poop" or "poop-stain"
Which, as everyone knows, is worse than poop, since you can flush poop, but the stain remains.

11. I don't unfortunately
I am currently trying to remove "bitch" from my repertoire. But I don't care for the easy replacement of "witch" because I'm pagan. I'm stumped. :shrug:

13. for "christmas sake"
instead of...

"For Christ's sake, why did you just stab him with a pencil!!"

I don't use it too often but it gets my students' attention.

14. I don't. I embarrass Longshoremen and CPO's.
Life's too fucking short to waste your time verbally jerking-off with words like "Gosh" and "Aw Shucky-Darn"...

21. Fuck.
I don't mince my words. Even around infants. They should learn to curse like the best of us. Now that I think about it, I think I'll volunteer at the hospital to curse at the newborns...get 'em ready for life!

22. "God .... bless America."
Not as creative as "Godfrey Daniels," but gets fewer questioning looks from my daughter.

25. "Shut the front door" is one of my favs.
My co-worker always says "Cheese and rice" which actually kind of annoys me. Don't really know why.

27. I say "nuts" a lot.
As in, "Oh nuts, I just burned the toast."

Other favorite I stole from my grandmother is "Damnation" or "Hellfire & Damnation."
