What words do you use in replace of swear words?

[Stillmonday]

If any?

I just swear.

None. Need to stop in front of ds though

I use different swear words for different things. There's always one that fits the occasion perfectly. 🤬

None I just swear or not rather than replace a word

Nothing. I just swear.

Some I've picked up from Scandi tv, like Fan and Helvete. Only when I'm on my own though. I think it's a bit twee and precious to say things like 'sugar'.

In one of Billy Connolly's sketches he twills how he was once told that swearing was a sign of a limited vocabulary. He pondered this, stated that he knew at least 143 words but still preferred the word "fuck".

Posted too soon......I always channel my inner Billy and invariably use fuck!

For fat snakes

Fudge, poop, damn lol

'Fat snakes ' 😂😂😂😂

I generally just swear, but if I'm in sensitive company, RATS! is a good one

None, I just swear if I want to. Never do it in front of DCs though.

Sugar Plumb Fairies can be quite satisfying, said with enough oomph.

Fudge/fudging/fudger

I went through a phase of saying "Bollards" instead of bollocks... I think I saw it on a daytime tv programme and it made me laugh so I starting using it!

I'm afraid I use the horribly twee "ffff...fiddlesticks!"

Sugar. I've been told off by umpires for swearing when I play netball. It also seems to be what the contestants were told to say on the old episodes of the Crystal Maze.

@LadySlipper11 I like "bollards"!

I know someone whose polite swear word was "Crapulation".

Mostly bugger. Although my 6 year old niece has made me now stop that by looking at my work in progress half finished decorating and exclaimed in a very sweet voice 'well, I'll be buggered! You made it all green.' Had to go outside to piss myself laughing while her mum gave her a stern talking to.

I swear. I don’t swear at the children, but a well placed FUCK can’t be beat.

Maybe my children are just very biddable, but I’ve always been of the opinion that swearing is ok so long as it’s a) not directed at someone and b) not used in company that wouldn’t like it, like granny, teachers, and basically anyone outside of the immediate family.

None. It's good to let rip with a few swear words under stressful circumstances. I don't like gratuitous swearing just for the sake of it,but a few expletives on certain situations is stress relieving.

My husband’s family are extrmely religious and use the word “jolly”

Drives me jolly nuts

I've watched too much octonauts so often say "flapperty flippers" in place of "fucking hell".

I say oh sugar. The DC have started to copy me though!

I swear all the time in front of my child. I don’t know why because my parents didn’t but I just say to him that he can’t because he’s a child and I’m at adult. He’s fine with that and never swears 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sometimes try to stop but last about 20 mins. I’m so bad in the car, it’s ridiculous.
