I can't find the thread, im sure the first comment will be someone able to link it, however until that person arrives I wanted to give you an update on how I changed after reading the somewhat controversialish thread. After reading some of my go to phrases would upset anyone I tried to stop them.
I've pretty much cut out the "omg" type phrases for the following (usually, sometimes they're even more bizarre)

Jesus Chirst - Jesus and the Mary chain.
Good lord - good lucy in the sky.
Omg - oh my godzilla!

So I spoke about the thread to Mr lwren who decided we'd try swearing less, so we now use these as often as we can around the house.

The C word - what a countryfile/that countryside just cut me up!
F word - fungus/funions/fuchsia heck/sake/off/cheeky
S - oh ship! Why is there more ship everywhere after I've just tidied?!

Others include but aren't limited to...

Cockadoodledo
Dickensian headache
Wannabe
Twink
Pistol
Darkhole
Prickles

So to that poster, you've made my vocabulary far more interesting, thank you!

It might not be perfect, but I've definitely considered what ship flies out my mouth a bit more 😅 and made an effort to make little changes ♥️

I read this thread to my vicar and my fellow ministers at our meeting this evening and we all had a good chuckle 😂

My post was never about swearing, it was about using 'Jesus' as a negative slur.

But apparently I needed to lighten up, so there we are 😂

I’m partial to “son of a whore!” myself.

I do also enjoy a good “Jesus tap-dancing Christ!” upon occasion, but then I’ve never been to any sort of religious service in my life so to me it’s just something expressive to say.

son of a whore

Being partial to vile misogyny isn't something to boast about.

Shut the front door!
Piece of toast.

Two of the phrases we used at the Christian youth club I attended for a while. The leaders worked out that if they didn't react we'd get bored of trying to rile them.

As a youth leader, I would be delighted if our kids used these 😂
