What "Replacement Cusswords" do you use in public?

[USSR]

Fudge.

Not as relieving as saying "Fuck", but it works..

 

[AmayaOnnaOtaku]

foxtrot. From the military alphabet for F.

 

[kurupt87]

I don't. Why would I? It wouldn't mean what I meant if I did. If you get what I mean.

 

[Mehall]

Frack, Frick, Frell, Blast

 

[The DSM]

I just swear.

There just words and no one really cares if you swear, ive seen 6 year olds swear god damnit...

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

"Funk!"
"Shizzle!"
"Norris!"
"Cook My Sock!"
"Munt Conkey!"
"Cunning Stunt!"

 

[Sebenko]

COCKLESHELLS!

Describing someone as a cockboggler usually elicits a laugh, too.

 

[mastermarty]

baklap! it's dutch, but even dutch don't understand it.

 

[Chamale]

I know swearwords that are considerably more offensive than anything English has to offer. I just say something light and inoffensive like "cock-eating shitbag" or "************" when I feel the desire to say something worse.

 

[Break]

I have a four-year-old stepbrother who likes to adopt my words and phrases.

Consequentially, I've gotten into the habit of saying "oh good heavens", "dear lord" and so on. I get some odd looks, but when the kid says "good heavens!" it's adorable, so I reckon it balances out.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

I normally use feck instead of fuck.

But that's more a tribute to Greg The Grim Reaper than self-censorship.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I use "fuck", "shit" "fuck this shit" and "************" in public.
Noone really cares, so there's no real point bothering with replacements.

 

[Lukeje]

`Funk', but only ever for comedy value. I feel no need to censor myself.

 

[StBishop]

I sometimes use British or Firefly swears instead of their English counterparts.

... British [...] instead of [...] English...

What?

 

[Levitas1234]

bullocks

Americans
You're doing it wrong

Cuntingniggerfuck all one word

No i'm not proud of my cussing, i try to cuss as little as possible. Sometimes though, it just comes out.

 

[McNinja]

Frickin'
Freakin'
Frick
Heck
hecknuggets
Balldankus (I have actually said what in the balldankus once)
Frickin' A
and any combinations of the above.

I have also called my brother a toaster a couple times. I got it from someone here on the Escapist.

 

[twcblaze]

I'm unapologetic in my swearing, so I don't use any replacement swear words, though the phrase I use the most in public is "son of a *****!" because, with four syllables, there's a wide variety of ways you can say the same thing, with varying levels of hatred for each one.

 

[Bek359]

I sometimes use British or Firefly swears instead of their English counterparts.

... British [...] instead of [...] English...

What?

Sorry, meant "American". When I said "English" I guess I was thinking of the opposite of "Firefly" swears, not the opposite of "British".

 

[Jolly Madness]

"Holy mother of jeebuzz"
I'm not very imaginative.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

I don't use "Replacement Cusswords" because pat of swearing is venting frustration. Saying "Darn!" or "Shoot!" doesn't do anything to make me feel less frustrated.
