Instead of swearing...

A friend of mine used to say "Jesus Christ on a bike." So another friend, mocking him, started saying "The Virgin Mary on a pogo stick." I still use that from time to time. Other random "swear" words I use:

Foo
Shucky-darns
Darn it all to heck
Bun of a slitch
Well, skin me alive and call me luggage.

The funny thing is - I still swear a lot...

Hah oh Maddy!

I do the same actually, I'll rarely actually swear. If I were to trip over like you did I'd most likely say a variant of "oops" or "oh dear".
Then I'll say other things such as "Holy cheese(or any other food)", "oh wowww", "that sucks *insert animal here* ass" etc.

Actually my most common phrase when I was about 10 was "izza zizza" - I'd scream it whenever I got hurt or scared. I still say it on occasion.

 

Oh goodness, I end up using any and all of these things. Here's a couple of the most frequently used:

Drat/Darn/Dash
Jesus Harry Christ (Which sometimes evolves to Jesus Hare Krishna, if the mood takes me)
Oh bothery.
Croap (or when I'm feeling particularily cursive "Holy Croap")
Snap
Shiv
Mercy-me!
Buggery (Which may or may not count as a swear)

When I get stressed, or confused, I tend to blurt things out in a confused tangle e.g. "Jesus, buggery croap!"

 

I say
Sweet Jesus!
GRACE AND MERCY!
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
BEND ME OVER AND DO ME DRY
LORD HAVE MERCY
And many many more if i think of them i will let you all know!

 

Oh joy. I say waaaaaay too many things to list. Like you, I have been training myself not to curse around my parents. Seeing how my mom acts when my older siblings curse, she'll yell at them, I'll just make up other things. A few:

Friggle Fraggle
Blazes
Goodness Gracious Me
Monkey's Uncle

 

I'm a big fan of "Dagnabbit!" It makes me feel like an old-timey prospector.

 

Haha, I use "Sweet Jesus" a lot.

I am naturally rather vulgar at times. I'm trying to curb the habit since I'm working on getting teaching certification... >.>

Lately I've taken to replacing "Son of a bitch" with "Some of it itches!"
Also, if I'm around kids, I sometimes catch myself and go "Shiiiitake mushrooms"

Muttering names at random bad drivers, I'll say things like "DOUCHE WAFFLE" if there is somebody teensy in the car with me. =P Still not the nicest thing to say but it's a lot nicer than what I normally say, haha.

As for the F-bomb, I'll replace it with "friggin'," "freaking", or just "EFF!"

 

in an effort to make myself swear less i started doing it in other lauguges. Its had such a lasting effect that if something frustrates me or i hurt myself or something my first reaction,completely naturally is now 'dios mio'. I also use 'porca madonna' sometimes.

On the english side instead of saying the 'f' word ive become very fond of saying "oh my gosh/goodness/word" it makes me sound very english

 

Shoot,
Fudgecicles,
Lordy,
Fidel-sticks,
Oh poo-p,
Jesu christe

That's all I think. Otherwise I just let fly.

 

i dont have anything practiced i just usually swear followed by a list of random words said angrilly

 

Ahaha, Maddy that's hilarious. XD

I actually swear ALOT in real life - and loudly. For some reason, I can't swear quietly. >.<
It's probably because my parents don't mind my swearing, they don't make me censor it.
I still say interesting variations though;
My best friend says "Mother of shit!" quite often. XD

I also usually say 'feck' instead of fuck, unless I'm trying to make a point.
I've also taken to saying 'Caesar salad...' whenever I get mad. Or 'Jesus christ caesar salad...'
It started as a joke and continued from there.
I can't think of any more at the present time; I'm sure I'll post them when I say them. XD

 

I actually swear i feel a lot of the "aversions" sound dumb. the closest thing i use as in at work when im with a customer or in front of young cousins i use shite and fecking.

 

I used to go to Chinese school with my Chinese friend, and she'd always go "Ayahhh!" when she got freaked out, and eventually I accidentally picked it up. To this day, if I get spooked by something, I'll holler "AYAAAH!" in a hardcore Asian voice. xD

I also like the class Wisconsinite "I'm gonna smack the piss outta you." It's got a nice ring to it.

But otherwise, I'm not much of a censor. I swear like a sailor. <3

Edit: Oh, or sometimes we just yell "PG WORDS!" and have a friend fill us in. Like refrigerator.

 

My friend Noel just says, "Expletive."
and it's epic.

 

I like that! I think I may adopt that. =D

 

I have a habit of calling almost everyone I don't like a Ding Dong. I use it way too much. Other than that, I tend to say "Darn it" and "Crap it all!" and "Urghblargh" and other assorted and random noises that I cannot possibly translate into words. That last one, mostly. I find myself shouting jibberish that sounds like baby talk. :lol:

 

I've picked up "Frak" from Battlestar Galactica... but generally I don't swear (or "instead of swear") much - if I reach the point where I need to swear, I generally just do!

 

I usually proclaim 'Dicks' or 'Dildos'. Not sure if those count. I still cuss a fucking lot.
