What swear substitutes do you use?

My main go-tos are -

Fiddlesticks for the 'f-word'
Sun on the beach - you can guess what for

I try not to exclaim like that at all in front of my kids, but sometimes you just need something to shout when you hit your thumb with a hammer and your six year old is in earshot :laugh:

    My nephews watches a cartoon where they always say "Oh, coconuts" when something goes wrong. That's what we try to use if little ears are around.

    This one reminds me of "Barnacles" and "Tartar sauce" from Spongebob.

    Bags.

    It really works for nearly everything, but now and then you've just got to scream, "What the EFFIE TRINKET is wrong with you?!"

    I don't have any alternatives that I regularly use myself, but I have an amusing anecdote from someone else--

    At my sister's wedding, my sister's maid of honor and best friend was trying VERY hard to control her sailor mouth around the groom's very conservative parents while we were getting everything set up. So when she was frustrated with something, instead of swearing, she just got this funny smile on her face and proclaimed, "God Bless America!"

    I had to keep ducking out of sight because it made me snort every time :laugh:

    Holy Sh!take Mushroom

    If I remember to change them. I've been trying to stop using foul language as I saw a woman using them casually in conversation and to say the least it sounded very unintelligent.
