Fake Cuss Words
Okay, I have a foul mouth - I admit it. I need to stop. DH is getting irritated now when I use f - as in, the letter and not even the word. So I need some new fakes. So give me your favorite fake curse!
Re: Fake Cuss Words
Well, that was going to be my suggestion. I don't use the actual f word in conversation but I'm always saying "eff this", "eff that", "eff that noise".
I've made a choice to stop calling my cat a whore, whorebag, slut, etc. and now use old fashioned words for her like trollop and tart lol.
Baby steps.
This - except I curse in German. Old habits die hard.
I had a math teacher in HS that was forever exclaiming " Oh Sugar".
Dude, poor Kitty Jaay is going to need therapy.
I only really sub "effing" or "Mother trucker". Other than that, I'm a mother trucking sailor.
I actually harassed my husband last night because he dropped 8 f-bombs in a matter of 1 minute...
20 minutes later, I was saying "eff! what the eff!"
...man, old habits. My poor embryos probably have a potty mouth too.
No help here. Sorry.
Out of my H and I, I am definitely the biggest offender. F-bomb and sh*t are our worst ones, with the occasional b*tch and a$$hole. I also really love the word bastard (but not to be used in its original context, of course--I just substitute it for a$$hole).
AND, Nora is most certainly at the age now where she could start to pick these up, so we really have to be better about cleaning up our act. I know I have a couple of fake curse words, but I cannot for the life of me think of what they are--I just know I say them in the moment! I'll have to pay more attention and get back to you.

I don't know why, but I say "fudge monkeys" a lot when I want to curse.
I want to say "shut the front door" but I never remember, but I think it's a good one!
DH's little cousin's first words were "Go, Jerk, Go!", yelled from his car seat.
I actually use "dang" a lot, but I'm also a big swearer. It's going to be tough to cut that out someday - it's such a part of my everyday language! Especially since in my professional environment, it's completely normal to hear someone drop an eff-bomb on a conference call or in a meeting.
I usually go all out, but when I'm trying to be reserved...
Dagnabbit
Barnacles
Crappydoodles
Heckynoodles
Frick-ah-frack
Pooperscoop
(And scooperpoop)
And I give the "pinky of death" instead of flipping someone off.
I had a kid one time who said "Oh Pickles!" whenever he was upset. Another kid transformed into "Oh, PICKLEFISH." I liked that one.
"Shut the front door" reminds me of when Kristen Chenoweth was a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance - it was hilarious!
