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.

God bless a milk cow!
What in the cat hair?
Jumpin' Jehosaphat!

I like "curses" as if I'm a comic book villain.

It's kinda long, but "Oh, for the love of bald men" is one of my favorites. I picked up "Flip you, melonfarmer" from a tv-edited movie somewhere, and it never ceases to amuse me. I'm also fond of using proper names as curse words: Dan Bennett! Sacajawea!

assbag is a personal favorite, but for polite, I am known to say bizarre things like Chicken As in Oh Chicken. or you son of a chick. It really throws em off. Most times i just say fuck it and cuss.

I cuss pretty much, well, all the time lol.
But those situations where it is not a good idea...i usually just belt out a plain ol' "Shoot!", backed up by a LOT of frusteration because I can't cuss.
I know, I am a creative one, I tell you!

Oh I forgot about Egads! Always reminded me of the Archie comics.

The "mother" of all non-offensive curses:
"Mother Puss Bucket!"
from Dr. Vinkman in Ghostbusters.
I say "Holy Cow" and "For cryin' out loud" all the time.

I enjoy "Good gravy" "sweet jesus" "holy!" and "motherfucker".
Wait, that's not polite, is it? My word.

I've been known to scream "FECK!".

The ones I use the most are "Oh, frak!" and "felgercarb". But then again, I'm from another part of the galaxy, so these might not make sense to you.

I can't believe that I forgot to put my favorite non curse curse: "Jesus Jones!".

Flippin'
Freakin'
Friggin'
Fekkin'
Lord Dyin' Jesus

I've seen / heard a lot of folks using "SNAP!" instead of "shit."
But not me. I'm all like, "Fuck sayin' that 'SNAP' shit, man."

While dating a really Christian girl I adopted:
Jimmeney Crickets
Jeepers
Poop
and
Good gravy
I have to say I like them more now. When I'm really mad and I use one of the above, I kinda cheer up a bit .

Personally, I've always been a big fan of Dr. Henry McCoy's "Oh, my stars and garters!" Doesn't really roll off the tongue, though, does it?
My high school football coach always used to say "Jiminy Christmas!" That one flows much more smoothly.
Posted by on 02/19 at 08:05 PM
say OH MONKEYS! (its fun, my friend who refuses to swear says it all the time.)
i'm also a fan of cheeseandrice, jeepers, jiminy crickets, cripes, dear lord, and mother.
