Clean swearing?
Okay... I admit, I have a bit of a potty mouth... *gasp!!* And so far I've been very lucky in that my son doesn't repeat... too much... what I say. LOL... so I'm trying to come up with clean swearing so that I can vent frustration, but not have my child develop bad habits. I just love the Orbit commercials and am trying to incorporate those into my everyday language... do you have some ideas for me?
These I've been so far successful in including... "Shut the Door!" "Well, Butter my biscuit!" "What the fudge?" and my past obsession with Brit comedy... "bloody bugger!" What do you say in the moment of anger?

Jeez (though sometimes they way my 3 year old says it sounds like Jesus) and then the normal ones to replace. One thing though is I didn't like him saying stupid, so I told him it was not something to say, little did I know I say it A LOT. So I hear all the time, "Don't say stupid, Mommy."

Damaged Cheese and Rice Farfegnugin what the hello that's all I can think of...lol Course I do go for the regular not so nice kind now and again.

My catch-all to replace just about every swear is
oh fluffernutters! I have absolutely no idea why I started saying, but it works. I can even say it at work in front of the students. Sometimes the middle-schoolers look at me funny, so I tell them it's my no-swear swear word. Some of them have started saying it too. My principal thinks it's hilarious! |
#10
|
||||
|
||||
Oohh... I say Cryminany too!
Hmm... is bugger bad? I suppose is probably is since in the context they say it, they are swearing... where I live, it's not considered a swear word.

Oh my gosh... I wish I didn't swear so much! I didn't swear at all until I was in like the 6th grade. I remember getting picked on alot because I wouldn't say a bad word... not sure what happened, but when I open my mouth, the wrong words come out... At least on-line, I have the delete button before clicking summit. LOL!
Thanks, Ladies!

I don't have a potty-mouth in general, but every once in a while, things slip! And they seem to happen more when the kids are not around (I guess that's a good thing, right?). It's mostly just sh** when I stub my toe or something. But every once in a blue moon I'll slip an f-bomb (and I REALLY HATE that word!). Oops!

My dh never says any of them so that really sets the tone in our home but I have used some of the ones that people have mentioned:
Fudge or fudgsicle Son of a biscuit and then there was another one but for the life of me I can't think of it....lol. Guess my anger issues are more tamer now! However, I am amazed at the language of some of the teens my daughter has on her fb account. Wow! Sometime the girls are worse than the boys and I just sit there and think wow!

I don't have a potty mouth...about all I say is crud or crap.
I did have a very good friend with colorful language...when her kids were around, her lines was 'corndog on a stick'...and if she was REALLY ticked, she would add 'and piddly-poo too'.

funny aside.. i remember as a kid, damnit wasn't a super bad word-- till one day my bff went home and said it to her parents- they weren't too pleased with mine. LOL so who knows.. maybe one of ce's lil friends parents won't be too keen on the crap and so forth

I'm a goody goodie on this one too. My favorite non-swearing cuss words are probably:
Junk Stink Crap Dang When I'm frustrated with my kids I say "good grief" and "good heavens" a lot. I think those just make me sound old, but that's what comes out.

We're not really swearers either here...I can't tell you the last time I heard my hubby say a cuss word...I'm a lot like Kresta - they slip out every now and then when I stub my toe or something like that. I notice that if I've watched a lot of Lost "son of a b****' comes out more often - got Sawyer to thank for that one, lol!! I never cuss around the girls though, which is good especially since Claire repeats EVERYthing now!! One of my favorite replacement phrases is 'son of a biscuit eater'. I've used that one a lot.

I swear a lot sometimes, which is terrible, but it just slips out. I had a BBQ a few weeks ago and my dad came, I don't swear in front of him so every time I went to swear I quickly changed it, everyone was laughing at me all day!

I teach at an elementary school and I just have to say that if I hear a kid say "crap" I have to write them up. So that is considered a "cuss word". Just sayin'.

I use clean swearing even around adults, though sometimes the others slip out if I'm really frustrated. I wasn't allowed to say crap growing up, so in my mind that's in the swear category. My favorites are:
freaking flippin' shoot

sadlyb I am a sailor so I probably have the worst potty mouth here and when I am mad, it is even worse! funn thing is DH was a sailor too and his mouth is no where near as bad as mine! but wen I am at my in laws I am very careful at what I say because they don't swear alot and I know it upsets them if we do it......Abby's new thing is "ohhhhhh Jesus".....I don't say this so I am not sure where she got it from and if she is neccessarily saying it in a bad way...so I am not help with the substitute ideas...I just say it flat put

My mouth was really clean while my boys were growing up. I used the "s" word in private, but that was about it.
Now...that they're all adults, I'll use whatever I want whenever I want!! Working retail will bring out the worst in everyone!! I have to be careful now though, so I don't say these things around my nieces and nephews! I'm not too bad at home though, but if I'm really mad...watch out. The "f" word still doesn't come out too often around my boys. I reserve that one for work!! |

Mine is 'dadgumit'... DH used to say friggin until he heard it coming out of DSs mouth!!

#39

I think my biggest concern is DH and his language, mainly when driving. He keeps it clean most of the time, but 'idiot', 'moron', and 'stupid' come out of his mouth alot. Rachel has repeated the 'stupid', and he was like, uh-oh. Well don't say it then, dude.
Thankfully she doesn't repeat a lot...'oh my god' and 'shut up' are definite no-nos around my house, but I know she's heard them from other people (and the TV too probably). She repeated a teenager saying 'shut up' once (had no clue what it meant), but I told her it was rude and please not to repeat it. That was a year ago and I've not heard it from her since.

We don't curse a lot, but sometimes. I do regularly say crap and freakin', and I've explained to my kids that most people don't consider those swear words, but some people would consider them rude for a child to say so they shouldn't use them. I think they finally know what the "real" swear words are, although til my daughter was at least 8 she would come home and tell me how someone used the "s" word. The "s" word turned out to be "stupid."

I might be married to a sailor... but I'm the one that cusses like one. I'm not really sure when I picked it up. For me it is often a case of "do as mommy tells you not as mommy says"... I really wish to change that... does any one know if that cuss jar really works?
|
#42

||||
|

I have a potty mouth I try to restrain around the kids but if I drop something on my foot or cut my hand the cussing just flows. The kids are good at not repeating me because they have been told 'those are grown up words'.
I say effing, freaking, flipping, bloody hell, bugger, crap, shoot, and my personal favorite - mother of god. I try not to use stupid, idiot, jerk and shut up at all, which really strains my vocabulary as imbecile, cretin, moron, and half-wit are not really acceptable substitutes. I've been using maladjusted juggins lately. |

[QUOTE=helenvader;686652]You sure about the bugger bit? Someone British will know better, but to me it doesn't sound like too "clean".
'Bugger' is just a part of everyday language here (in New Zealand)! I was pretty embarrased when my then 20mo DD went into pre-school and went off on her own saying bugger, bugger, bugger! So hard trying not to laugh whilst trying to ignore it! She now (at 2yrs 10mo) has started saying it again after a long break - something will happen - like she will drop something etc and all you will hear is "oh Bugger"! It is not in so much use in the UK (I am English) but is definitely everyday language here, even though I use it occasionally. I am more of an "Oh, shoot" girl myself. |

Funny thing about living in or near Quebec, the swear words are all religiously based pretty much, so... as clean as you think religion would be, saying tabernacle with a french accent is swearing. Go figure.
I say dangnabbit a lot, or son of a monkey's uncle. I also use freak, frack, crap, sheesh. Stuff like that. But swearing in French is kinda fun if you have to swear.

I don't swear much at all (although I *think* the f-word a lot when I'm mad!!). When I was growing up, I got in trouble for saying "shut up" "oh my god" and stuff like that, so I'm pretty sensitive to what I say in front of my kids. And now that I have 2 teenage boys, I just tell them, if they want to cuss, I can't stop them, but they better not do it in the house.
A few years ago my then-83 year old mother was telling a story where she said the word "sh*t" and I about freaked out! I covered my ears and told her to stop it! I had never heard her swear in my life! LOL OK, so back to the topic...I say darnit and dangit a lot. Or "shoot". I'm so not much help |
