Hmm. I'll swear.

Good job! Now if only we could get the young kids to read this and take heed.
Thanks for posting this list.

"Holy crap"

dag gone it & dog gone it instead of da_n or F**k

son of a gun instead of sob

good grief instead of a lot of swear words

Oh for "fracks" sake.. from Battlestar Gallactica

Reminds me of one of my favorite commercials.

Fudge off!! instead of f*ck off. Freakin ashslow, instead of f*cking assho*e. Runt instead of *unt.
Bullship instead of bull Shi*

Bite me!

MOTHER STICKER !!

Feck

One my grandma used, who I never heard swear, was,
CHEESE AND RICE, instead of Jesus Christ, and it had to be something bad to get her to say even that......

ahhhh FUDGE !

I never understood the whole English s*xual orientated swearing?!?
"F*ck you" is a nice thing isn't it? So why swear with it?
I mean I kind of get it but since English is my second language not to the full extend. Grin I still feel the urge to say "why thank you" if someone would say that to me.

I am Dutch (maybe that explains it)

Damn My Duck Pond!..that's a funny one lol

From Sept 13....

Thanks for the comments guys...

@ Reb...
In Ireland there is a commonly used word "Feck", now it doesn't take a scientist to figure out its a corruption of f*ck, but heres the kicker...You will here it used on radio and television well before the watershead (sorry, thats a time before adult content can be broadcasted on radio and tv), and the discriptives "Feckin" and "Fecker" are used in equal measure...
For the want of 1 letter, the message is well and truely "gotten across", God bless the Irish!......

@ Professor....
"Bum", yeah, i like that!...Have you caught TVs "Top Gear"?...
I ask because of the presenter James May, commonly heard using the word "c*ck" in times of mild irritation, slightly more crude that "Oh my word", but wonderfully satisfying when used in the moment...And i must confess to saying "Tits" on many an occasion, though not in female company......

@ Dogfather (like the name)....
Loving "Twod", origins please?...And "Blow me down", how could i have forgotten that one?, indeed another used by my mother...
There was something about people who grew up between the wars (1 and 2) that there language was more, shall I say gentle and even creative...

fANTASTIC how about twod or even well i will go to the foot of our stairs or well blow me down

I tend to use 'Bum' as my catchall swear word. Certainly when my son is staying with me; although normally only used as a general swear word. For the immediate relief following a hammer blow to my thumb, I try to maintain calm decorum and maybe go red and say BumBumBumBum, otherwise, if it really hurts, there is no painkiller like "f*ck Hell that bastarding hurts" then maybe ramble on with more swear words until I run out of breath.

friggin/usa.

Thankyou both for your kind comments...

The richness of the english language never fails to amaze me...
And as i have mentioned in some of the forum threads over time, our use of language and a general sense of "dumbing down" has been a tragedy of near greek preportions...
For a wonderfull twist on foul language i highly recommend a film called "The Fantastic Mr Fox" (adapted from a story by Roald Dahl), where any time a sware word was warrented the word "cuss" was used instead...Just delightfull...

Again, thanks for your comments...

A_B...

Thats a flocking good list there you basket...

You had me laughing till i almost had to change my pants..... i love the alternative swear words you suggest. heard a lot of them when i was living in Manchester in the 90s. i love the Gordon Bennitt one. have heard it a few times by friends here in SA that grew up in the UK. Your comment about the "buggery" was the one that got me running.......
well done.... i love it......... will come back to read them many more times, just to laugh... till i have to run.......
cheerio,
