What do you think about saying 'sugar' instead of swearing?

[goingtoexplodesoon]

I know it sounds crazy, but I get annoyed when people say 'sugar'. It's fine if they don't want to swear or say damn or whatever, but why sugar? It doesn't fit with being angry about something. Why not bicarbonate of soda, lemons, salt or coffee bean? 'Coffee bean' sounds better to shout then sugar. Saying 'sugar' should be for something you like. AIBU about this and just plain mad or does anyone agree?

Well let's not rule it out

Us Oirish get around a bit....

I agree, just say it. I don't swear often, and when I do, if I stub my toe or something, dd says 'mummy you mustn't say that! It's a very naughty word' I say 'oops sorry dd! You are right it is naughty' and that is the end of that. No swearing 6yo yet.

For me it is avoiding finishing the word shit.
