A good non-profanity swear phrase?

luckymrs. · November 2009

In the last couple of months I've become a potty mouth. Knowing DD will soon start mimicking us, I need to change my ways.

Any ideas for a non-swear anger phrase? Like "Sugar, Honey, Iced Tea" or the like? Something that isn't so silly it actually feels like I'm getting out some aggression?

TIA for any ideas.

Okay, these are so silly, but I love them because I love Anchor Man

I've been saying, "Oh, Oden's raven!" or "Oh, Merlin's beard!" because it makes me laugh and relieves some stress.

We have a friend that says "Shut the front door" instead of "Shut the F up."

DH is fond of "slug in a ditch." And my 2 yo niece says "oh my goodness" a lot so you can see what their alternative was!

Cheese and rice and what the fudge are all I can think of. Good luck remembering the substitute swear when you're truly pissed!

Yes I do this too.

And I say "Dad-gum-it" instead of damn it. I'm not sure where that came from.

And "effing".... but I'm not sure that's better than the real thing.

At school when I mess up in front of the class I say "nutter butter". I haven't trained myself to say it in front of DD though - I need to work on that!

We use "WOW!" for everything.

Sometimes its more of a "Wo Wo WoooooW!"

Spin313 · November 2009

I say "flipping" instead of "f*cking"

I also really like "shut the front door"

"Son of a nutcracker" and "son of a mother" are two of my standards. I also say "frick" and "fricking" a lot.

I really need to begin watching my mouth. Something went wrong on my laptop this morning and I muttered "shiit" under my breath. DS was about 10 feet away and immediately starting saying "shiit. shiit." I had to stifle laughter, but I really need to watch it.
