chaoskitty 0 #1 February 20, 2008 I think I've been swearing too much lately. Particularly using "Jesus!".. or "Jeeeesus!", which ya know.. just isn't right. I just can't think of another word that quite expresses the same level of exhaspiration. I'm really OK with anything but Jesus.. or Jesus fuckin titty H Christ. That one takes too long to say. Maybe some of you who dont swear, or who are around kids alot can tell me what you do instead of swearing. Spence, I don't expect you'll have any input here.

When my nephew was about 3 years old, he picked up the bad habit of repeating what his dad would say when he was "upset". So if my nephew dropped a toy off the table, out of his mouth would come "Oh, f@$K". We managed to get him to stop saying that and he adopted "DANG IT!" Try that.

Lindercles 0 #10 February 20, 2008 If you want to quit cussing, instead of trying to find substitute words, why not change the cussing mentality? After all, it's not so much the words you say, but the intent behind them that is important. If you're just substituting one word for another, your intent remains the same. In short, the alternative to cussing is simply not cussing. Edited to add: but what the fuck do I know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
countzero 7 #11 February 20, 2008 instead of cussing i've used: holy cannoli, holy cow, holy guacamole, bogus, bush league, hambugers, sweet fancy moses, stinking, and flipping. once came close to losing it in front of my nephew but i ended up calling someone an- inconsiderate pig faced bag of rat guts.diamonds are a dawgs best friend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #16 February 20, 2008 Instead of "God", I use "gosh" or "goodness". Instead of saying "Jesus", (which I personally have never really used anyways) I say "Geez" (formerly written as "geese" apparently reading my old posts. ). There is no substitute for "fuck". This much I know. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #24 February 20, 2008 Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden's favorite cuss phrase seems to be "dadgumit" instead of goddamnit.
