Thats just foreign swearing. ;)
here in OZ and also in NZ it's not uncommon for some to say Bugger, instead of (ohshit, or oh fuck).

That would depend upon where you are... It's far from foreign here.;)

Many years ago, I was working in a hotel and we had a trucker who would stay with us every week. We got to know him very well. He was a Southern Baptist. Instead of saying 'Jesus Christ', he would say 'Judas Priest'. He delivered that perfectly.

I myself am much more of a potty mouth here on dz.com than I am in real life. I do cuss, but you'll never hear me use any of the God references. They're just not in my vocabulary. I actually cringe a little when I hear someone else say them, but that's just me.

I do use the word 'fuck', but never in a professional setting, in front of my parents or anyone I don't know. So, I guess I naturally self-filter.

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.



I agree - you should use forign cuss words though - Like Bollocks - I like that one.
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

I think I'd make a better blasphemer than a Southern Baptist trucker.

Isn't Judas Priest one of those bands that requires a mullet for concert admission?



Yes, I think mullets were required. I never listened to them.

Anyway, it was the way the trucker delivered the phrase that made it work. I couldn't do it because I have too much of a NY accent.:S

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. :D

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. :D:P



So wrong you are. Why would you holler out some mexican guys name when you are upset about something?

I occasionally use, "Shit and shinola" but that doesn't work does it?

How about, "Holy Bejeezus and pass the peas"?

Tell you what. Use this and you'll be over the anxiety before you get to the end and you'll leave off the last word just out of sheer boredom if nothing else:
"Sorry sap-sucking son of a sea-going sack of Siberian sheep shit"
My reality and yours are quite different.

I just said, "damnit, this fucking tv" when I couldn't get the three stupid remotes to work now that I have a stupid receiver in my house. I was told, "you sound like an ordinary skydiver."

That's a compliment, right? :ph34r:
