I need to cut down on my swearing (or stop altogether). It's out of hand. No kids around, so it's nothing to do with offending young ears.
I've thought about swearing in another language, but I still know what I've said even if others don't.
What non-swear words do you come out with or do you just let the obscenities rip?

What the Snitzel!
Holy Snitzel!
Aw SNITZEL!
I also sometimes say Fudgesicle.
A long time ago I had my first goose hit (while flying) and it was the first time and I was kind of surprised and I said FUUUUU- (realized the intercom was on) - DGESICKLES!!! and a couple of kids in the back were upset when they found out there were in fact no fudgesicles on board. Lol.
Good luck stopping the habit. You can do anything you set your mind to.
But hey if it's the worst habit you've got that's great.

I curse in other languages--even non-native English (for me, that's UK English).
Even if I still know I'll say something bad, I have to think a few milliseconds to replace the usual word with its foreign equivalent; in those few milliseconds, I sometimes think "don't say any bad word at all!" So in the end, it cuts down on cursing.
And hey! I recognize that picture--it's on a Creature's album cover, but I can't remember the Asian artist at the moment.

I say "Jessica Fletcher" (instead of mother f) or "grandmother Fletcher".
I also say things off a grocery list "mangos"! "Bananas" and so on.
I say Shnitzel too - lol that Hoodwinked movie is too much-!
Of course if I drop a washing machine on my foot (I did once) then I just babble incoherently and holler nonsense until I I can see straight.

Well, my grandma says phrases like "shoot a rubberband" and "fiddle stix". But if you need just normal, modern substitutes, I would stick to Friekin Crap Man! or gosh darnit. I say friekin a lot. Like, "your a friekin loser" or "ya friekin idiot!" It just depends on what the situation calls for. It's a good goal. You can do it! Good luck!

I usually let the obscenities go...I try to curb back by saying them in German, but if I REALLY try to control it, I say things like "fudge" or "mother fletcher", stuff like that!

I luv the schnitzels
-- I've been schnitzelled!!
-- Oh schnitzell!!
-- What the schnitzel!!
from Hoodwinked.
Some times I shout "Bananas" and really open my mouth wide and saying it like that is very satisfying.
