Swearing without swearing.

[Nr1Humanoid]

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.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

f*** no.

[Evilution E5150]

I've taken to saying fart instead of f*** in front of my son

also calling people bananas or turkeys instead of stuff much worse

[El Pollo Guerrera]

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.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

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

[The Unconquered Sun]

warning Language! NSFW! don't watch if easily offended, all of that, ok you've been warned.

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

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.

No, no. 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

[Father Dougal McGuire]

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!"

[BorneAgain]

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

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

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

[FALLOUT Goldashausen #BLM]

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.

[Long A, Short A]

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

[Rocky Raccoon]

"Hot fudge!"
"Oh, gravy!"
"That dumpus can go suck a duck."

I take great pride in my vocabulary.

[Deleted]

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.
