Favourite Non-Swearword Swearword

Everyone is fond of **** or *****. Some people are even more enamored with ********* or even you hairy ****. But anyone can say ***** or ****** and it doesn't require much imagination.

Old school swearing without swearing seems to be the way to go. Calling someone a dirty bowsie or a backstard.

Even using "Cheese and Rice" instead of the much reknowned zombie magician.

I feel like there has to be more out there.

I don't know if this counts, but I used "farkakte" for years and years without realizing it was not my grandmother's made-up word. (It's Yiddish for "sh!tty" but in practical use comes closer to "f@cked up" in the sense of "broken".)

Flibbertigibbet. I use to try and use it instead of 'fúck' in front of the kids. Instead of saying 'Ah fúck...', I'd try and say 'Ah, flibbertigibbet...'. It cheers you up straight away.

I never realised until looking up the spelling now that it meant 'A frivolous, flighty, or excessively talkative person'.

Siucra - there's a lovely, aggressive flow to it

"Absolute helmet" always makes me laugh.

Also really enjoy putting the word "thundering" in front of any swear word. Gives it an extra kick.

Very good one. In Texas it was, "Aw, sugar".

I got into a habit of saying "Jeez Louise" when my nephew was around and i say it all the time now. My husband hates when I say it. He says it's worse than cursing.

Your husband has a point, well Jeez Louise is ok, I really hate when adults use words like poop, 'I'm absolutely pooped' etc kid talk by adults is bad!
