OK folks. I need some "polite" exclamations.
Don't worry. I'll never give up "fuck" or "shit," but I'd like to expand my angry vocabulary. What's your favorite polite exclamation?
Drat?
Darnit?
My word?
I don't really like those... but I know there's
gotta be something out there that's clean and that I like. Right?
Damn skippy.

I like Bollocks, a lot of people have never heard it and look at you weird when you say it.

Hammerdoo! It sounds nicer than damn, but it's secretly not.
The meaning: If you've ever had a shit like this, you'll understand its validity as a cuss word. Everything starts out fine, smallish, and then you realize you're birthing a hammer head. Gross, I know.

My personal favourite is "dagnabbit". I know it makes me sound like hill-folk, but I don't care.

Dang, fudge, crud are all pretty standard for me...except I've been known to say "fudging cocksucker" and "i don't give a fucking crud." Reeeeal effective, let me tell you.

I am partial to "bloody hell", "bugger", and "fiddlesticks." Although "fiddlesticks" isn't terribly manly.

I called some woman in Walgreens parking lot a "cooter" today. I then proceeded to laugh hysterically for 10 minutes... alone... in my car.
Anyway, its likely I am of no help in this department.

What about the Newfoundlanders' "Lord Jumping Jesus!"
Posted by on 02/15 at 07:37 PM
I say dagnabbit too. But what I REALLY like to say is "Well, fuck me in the goat ass". heh. Although it's not at all "polite"

Dagnabbit.

I like "bugger" because it sounds harmless, but it's a synonym for ass-fucking so it's actually pretty saucy.
Who doesn't love a good anal reference? I sure do.

For times when swearing might be inappropriate, flippin' or frickin' instead fuckin' - always my fall backs.
But I always liked my grandfathers liberal and punctuated use of the term "Judas Priest" in times of extreme irritation.

Criminy is my personal fav.
OH FUDGE (only I didn't say fudge)
Oh here is somthing fun to do... when in conversation with people say really really loud "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!" and watch the reaction. They think you are about to say something else and it's especially fun in the work place. heh

Frock.
Bugger, or bloody, as long as there aren't any English around to be offended.
Swut and fark and holy zarquon, from H2G2.
Also, a healthy, tongue-extruding 'bleaughhhhhhhhh' has helped me retain some measure of calm during emotional moments.
However, given that my default exclamation at work is "Jesus Fucking Christ on a stick," I recognize that I am not role-model in this area.
