    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.

    I don't use alternatives. I don't see the point in saying "shoot" instead of the four letter version. All you're doing is changing a few vowels but the intent is still there. Who decides which words are "bad?" Just seems silly.

    I don't really use alternatives-I would feel kind of nerdy. There was a show that I had to quit watching because they kept saying "Frack." It drove me nuts. I pretty much remain uncensored. But, I do use "freak" when I'm am around people that don't approve of that language.

    Instead of the F word I often say "folly" I'm not sure how this happened.

    But the kids know "folly" is bad and ask what's wrong when I say it.
