I thought my swear filter was shit hot (I used to be a teacher) turns out it's just shit! Am trying hard not to swear in front of ds who is 20 months and copies everything I say! Just wondered what words you use instead of swearwords...

I like "sugar butties" instead of shit

Haven't come up with anything satisfying instead of fuck.

Ha ha that sounds terrible!

'flapjacks'

It's quite satisfying actually.

I need to learn some too.

I dropped something in front of the DC earlier and was trying so hard not to say 'shit' that I said 'fuck'.

Confused

Sugar's still a substitute for shit in my home.

There isn't anything as satisfying as fuck. When dc were small I tried to say said flick when occasion arose.

Haha! I used to over indulge on the 'F' word forgetting sometimes how quickly my dd picked things up, that was untill she repeated it.....I got my inspiration from Fifi & the flower tots, so fuck has now been replaced with 'Fiddley flower petals'!

Bollocks is now bongo's
Shit is now shish kebab....no, i dont eat kebabs....
Crap is now crackers
Wanker is now winkle picker
Twat is now twot

I cant think of any more which is absurd as i use them daily!!

Oh Flibertigibert.

Very satisfying.

Or a quick declamation, with hands raised skywards and eyes rolling backwards of "My Path Is Strewn With Cowpats From The Devils Own Satanic Herd"

Very satisfying and the situation is usually over and done with y the time you've finished.

Fiddle sticks - fuck.
Sugar - shit.
For ducks cake - for fuck sake.
Oh frig it - oh fuck it - not such a good alternative!
