A few years ago, I went on a search to find a word that I could use as an expletive without actually swearing. Because 'crap' means the same thing as "s**t," I don't like to use it. Same with acronyms ('sugar honey iced tea) or "about-to-swear-but-changed-my mind at the-last-minute" (e.g. "son of a batch of cookies")
Instead, I use words that actually mean what I want them to. (Feces and lovemaking seem to be the basis of almost all curse words, and neither of those are applicable in my conversations the majority of the time.)
So when something irritates me, I say "Bother!" or sometimes "dash it." "Dash it" originated when books would censor out swear words by putting in a dash. "Phooey" escapes from my mouth occasionally.
I also say "blooming" as an intensifier, though that's only in circumstances of extreme provocation.
The closest I ever came to swearing was when I said, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! If there was EVER a time to swear, NOW WOULD BE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I can't remember what had happened, but I shocked everybody around me. :P

Cookies, fudge, sugar, or almost anything that is sweet lol. I am trying to stop cursing completely.
Someone made a comment about people cursing because they lack vocabulary or something... Blah, blah, blah, cursing does NOT mean that someone cannot express his or herself well. I do not like people who judge without knowing anything about the people/person they are judging.

It is the intent behind the word, not the word itself so any word you use in place of a curse word when you intend to curse, becomes a curse word.

I don't avoid using swear words but I do cuss in other languages- French, Russian or German, so that my recipient won’t understand. However, I find it real funny to cuss the Ned Flanders' way...
