Do what the Irish do and use the word "feck".

Swearing is an easy habit to get into. Like everyone else, I've been surrounded by people who swear constantly all my life. It bugged me and made them sound stupid. How clever do you have to be to tell someone to eff off. I liked thinking up new ways to say the dame thing, like "take off, you pelican." Instead of kiss my #ss, say kiss my elbow. It's easy, it makes people stop and think and laugh instead of feeling uncomfortable. Using the F word every other word just makes you look slow.

I have absolutely no idea why we did it, but when I was a kid, the word `sugar' was often substituted for a swear word.
The late Pierre Trudeau, Canadian Prime Minister at various times between 1968 and 1984, once uttered a swear word in the House of Commons, however, when he was confronted by reporters afterwards, he claimed it was actually `fuddle-duddle' that he said. :-)
Swearing is just a habit, one that's hard to break and people who swear don't always realize they are doing it.

From the North East uk: human beings in Yorkshire pronounced those from Lincolnshire as 'yellow bellies', depending on the undeniable truth that the Lincolnshire Regiment had yellow breastplates. In Stockport (North West uk), there develop into (and doubtless nevertheless is) competition between the scholars of Stockport Grammar college and Stockport college. the former pronounced as the latter Blue insects (because of their blue uniform), and the latter pronounced as the former Grammar Grubs.

My favourite is from the movie "Speed" when Keanu Reeves sees the bomb under the bus and says "oh f*** me" and the nerdy farm boy translates that as "Oh Darn" So that is how me and my wife swear around the house: Oh Darn. In that tone. LOL

Say "frack," like in "Battlestar Galactica." Then, you'll look cool for using the swear word of the future, or nerdy for watching "Battlestar Galactica." Either way, it's fracking fun to say!

I like to be contrary and say "I'm SO glad that happened" , get in a habit of doing that with everyday aggravations so that it becomes more natural, then when the big upset hits, you'll say it automatically.

"JESUS WEPT!!" is a cracker. It sounds really rude, will offend any Christians in the vicinity, and is the shortest verse in the Bible.
