When people let out anger we always say ''fuck'' or ''shit'' or something of that sort.
I have tried to change that, while I have nothing against swearing if I get mad in public I don't want to start yelling ''FUCK'' randomly. xD.
So do you have something you say to substitute it? I have a really nerdy one that I say as a habit, but it is embarrassing. xD Here is mine-
Do you have a word/phrase to say instead of swearing?
Usually I'll just go off and swear outright, but certain company requires more tact. As such a family favourite of saying 'Armpits' is employed. Occasionally, this will be upgraded to 'Armholes".
I sometimes say Eff. Or use fudge although that is rare. I don't have a problem swearing. Most words other then Fuck can be used without too many problems. Besides cunt of course.
"Ducking" instead of "Fucking" occasionally, assuming the cursing is to be worded comically. "Feth" and "Fething" from the Gaunt's Ghosts books have also stuck to me in some fashion.
Aside from these I curse like normal. After all, when someone is being a cunt, he should be called a cunt. Exaggerated profanity can sometimes be hilarious, if used correctly.
"mother fussbudget" & "poo" Anything funny since it helps alleviate some of the tension I'm feeling at the moment.
I just curse, loudly and profusely.
EDIT - maybe I should look into this thread more, as I hit the post reply button I had an email through informing me that we have a new work experience kid here for the week and that we all need to avoid cursing to prevent any HR issues arising. No kidding, it was almost simultanious.
