Anyone else use any fun alternatives to swearing in daily life?
I like to throw in a frell or a smurfing once in a while.
For the love of Hanna Montana is a goofy one I use sometimes.

I have used "smurf" on occasion.
One of my go-to expletive-replacements is the word "intercourse" instead of the f-bomb. If a machine is broken, I'll tell the service tech that the machine has been intercoursed all day and describe what's wrong with it. It'll usually take a second or three for them to get what I mean.

I will never understand the stupid homespun words instead of "cursing". You'll never be able to explain it to me.

I am from New Jersey. We have turned usage of profanity into an art form here.

I will never understand the stupid homespun words instead of "cursing". You'll never be able to explain it to me. I do it for different reasons, depending on the situation. Sometimes there are kids around and their parents don't like exposing them to that kind of language, so I respect the parents' wishes. Sometimes I'm dealing with people who tune you out if you use that kind of language. I hate being caught up in situations where I'm trying to explain something very important to a person and they're not paying attention to what I'm saying because they're stuck on how I'm saying it. Also, when I do use expletives with those types of people, it tends to get their attention more because I don't use 'that language' often. And sometimes it's just sounds funnier.

I know how to not use that language in front of children or your boss or a chick you're into. I can restructure a sentence. I mean stupid substitutions like dang, or smurf! or by gum.

I used to say fudge all the time but since I've read all the Harry Potter books I've taken to saying Cornelius Fudge instead of f-bombs every now and then

One time, this special soul was driving like a madperson on a city street, zig zagging thru traffic, and cut me off. I end up behind this person at a traffic light and he was too busy dicking around on their phone to notice the light was green so I tapped the horn, a friendly lil beep beep. Asshole flips me off, so I yelled out the window, "Forget you, Butterpucker!"

I've found those who do alternative swearing are usually huge Bob Sagets.

There was a movie where instead of bullshit they'd say sheep dip. Loved that one.

I remember using "that WHOMPS" from Disney's "Recess" animated show when I was actually attempting to swear.
I then realized I was quoting a kids' TV show I hadn't watched in over 15 years.

I just drop out the cuss word. I don't replace it with anything.

"Hot fudge!" "Oh, gravy!" "That dumpus can go suck a duck."
I take great pride in my vocabulary.

As a joke sometimes I'll use the terrible TV edit dubs of cuss words.
But really, no. If I'm around kids or in a professional setting, I just don't use those words. On the whole, I don't really cuss that much anyway.
