What "Replacement Cusswords" do you use in public?

[CLEVERSLEAZOID]

Unfortunately for me, I'm a sweartrain. Every other word I come out with is a swear word, I'm pretty sure I don't have tourettes, but I can't help it sometimes.

Which makes work -very- difficult. I work in a supermarket as one of the managerial staff, but not your normal kind of supermarket where that would mean I sit in a comfy office all day, the company I work for employ a very hands on approach to managerial work, so I spend a lot of time on shop floor working stock.

So when I drop things, knock things over, or cut my hand on our crappy 'safety' knives [which cause more accidents then they are worth tbh] I use the following:

Frick
Sneck [points if you know what thats from]
Smeg
Ball aches

And sometimes if I really get annoyed, I'll go full Elliot and say Frick on a stick with a brick

I use a phrase that would transliterate to "Chresus Jist" a lot (it works better in Dutch), but that's just out of habit - if I'm really pissed (or just grumpy) I'll swear like a drunken sailor. One other pseudo-swear-word I use is "godversaurus", which (very) roughly translate to "goddamnsaurus" or something similar. But I use it mostly for comedic effect, not as an actual blasphemysm.

Chicken. If I do feel the urge to swear, the expletive gets replaced with the word chicken.

S/he is a right 'James Blunt'.

 

[Sephychu]

"Fudge", "Funk", "Balls", "Wank Stain"(okay, that's not a replacement).

Not too many. I do just swear a lot, but not in the presence of those I do not wish to offend.

 

[benoitowns]

I dont use replacement words. I jsut completely dont use the phrase, and if I do I use the regular words. When everyone knows what you mean, how is it less offensive to replace it with a more obscure word? If you "slip" then people should deal with it or you should apoligize for your obscene impulse.

I generally don't swear, but if I do I don't really care to cover it up. I'll just say "What the fuck!?" "that's shit!" but I suppose I'll occasionally say "Frack" instead. Battlestar ftw.

In place of bullshit I use What Arbitrary Silliness. cookie for reference...

[Elonas]

"frick", "blast", "curses" and "meng". Don't ask about the last one, I don't know...

 

[Veleste]

I say fudge or use colloquial phrases such as 'Go fly a kite' or 'Take a long walk off a pier'. I'm not predisposed to swearing anyway.

 

[hazabaza1]

"Fudgemonkies!"
"Oh, balls!/Nutsack"
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFF"

 

[Cowabungaa]

When I want to yell fuck I usually try to control myself and say either frell, frack or fudge instead.

Usually I just swear quietly, I'm pretty good at muttering stuff.

 

[wooty]

I just dont, I let 'em all fly out naturally. Offendee's can sue me if they can catch me

 

[Spiner909]

What the fruit is going on in here?

 

[AnAngryMoose]

"Fff-or God sake!" everytime I'm about to say "Fuck!"

As an aside, I always curse in public, just not around kids or family.

 

[Babitz]

I swear like a man. I don't need some arbitrary censorship which doesn't change the fact I'm about to say something inappropriate. Seriously, what's the deal with the replacement words? If you don't want to swear, then just don't.

[RJ Dalton]

I invented an entire language just so I could curse at people and not have them realize what I was saying.
Alternatively, I use Japanese curse words.

 

[ArcWinter]

Since I'm American, bollocks.

Or, a bit more offensively but more fun to say, some of these:
balls
ballmuffins
castrations
celibacy
cockruffles

It is really funny seeing people react to you yell "Oh, castrations!"
