Your swear alternatives (no real profanity, please)

I once heard the statement that " four letter words were made so the uneducated can converse with the educated. After hearing that I really have watched my words. There really are a lot of words to replace the 4 letter words that you could use in front of a preacher. You can get your point across with out profanity. Now I say that and I am not a ggodie 2 shoes. I enjoy sex and so forth, I just don't cuss

I tend to avoid it in conversation. But in the aforementioned situation of hitting one's thumb with a hammer "My gosh, that really was quite excruciatingly painful" really doesn't quite cut it :laugh:

That name really does lend itself to exclamation. Another good one from HGTTG is "fetid dingo's kidneys", as in "I couldn't give a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys how tired you are, go make me a sammich"

This! And also "son of a biscuit", "mother trucker", "what the fruit?!" or "what the fruit-flavored cow-pie?!", which I got from my son when he was younger
