    Quoth Panacea View Post

    Great Googly Moogly is an expression I use when profanity is inappropriate (needless to say, I use this one alot).
    My co-workers preferred wanna-swear-but-can't expression is "Buckets of Christmas Trees!"

    Don't ask.

    One from me: That's craptacular/craptastic/shittacular/durr hurr hurr--that's stupid.

      One of my favorites (my mom's) is "uglier than homemade sin." I always think, "as opposed to store-bought sin?"
      "Is it hot in here to you? It's very warm, isn't it?"--Nero, probably

        Being a Quebecker, I have the ability* to pronounce the Quebec Swearwords properly and rarely abstain from doing so. Most of my non-profanity slang and such comes from the Internet, e.g. "BUS! Y U NO RUN ON TIME!"

        * In my opinion, if you're a Quebecker you will pronounce them right very naturally; if you're not, you can get "close enough" but you'll never get them perfectly right.

        Here's a basic lesson from a Quebec/Ontario-made movie (featuring some police brutality). The balding guy is from Ontario, the two others are Quebeckers, both cops are bilingual.

          When my CW had a kid and needed a wanna-swear-but-can't expression, she started using "God bless America."

            Derp, meep, blargh, "friiiiiiiiick", and "holy refried <insert various items here>". I use them *way* too much, lol.

              After the past two days I realize I say 'Srly?' a lot. Usually said really sarcastically. What can I say? My misanthropy causes severe sarcasm.

                Seriously?! = used to denote disbelief / exasperation

                damn = usually in multiples = frustration

                bugger-it bugger-it, millennium hand-in-shrimp! = i believe this comes from DragonLance novels, its used as an expression of self-frustration

                Hell's Bells!(and boggy muck) = exasperation, usually when things refuse to go right.

                "The Bitch ain't square!" = this is my dad's battle cry when doing any remodeling on the house, because apparently there are no truly square angles/corners in the house... used anytime things don't line up the way they should

                "Oh Missy!" = cut short from "Oh Missy did you know......!?!?" = used to make my dad feel old

                (Metric) Fuckton/shitton = large amounts

                Squee = express joy or happiness

                Squeek! = discomfort

                "I thought we raised her better than that" = said almost exclusively to my brother, about our mother; ironic, because obviously we did not raise our mother

                "Oh Honey..." - I'm from the south, it has a variety of uses, depending on inflection.

                "ruck me funning!" - another spoonerism - "f*%k Me Running" = another one with a variety of applications, can be added to, the more creative the better.

                "And THAT, God..." = stolen from my parents; basically means that I'm done doing whatever bs menial repetitive task that doesn't need to be done, and if you ask me to another thing, i'm going to snap; used more or less as a warning

                "ae'ah!" - its a "mom" noise(like a vocal, "buzzer") - I use it to get people to stop whatever they're about to do wrong; also useful on animals.

                "Indeed" - depending on tone, multiple uses, particularly when i'm inebriated... example "hey i have a great idea" "Indeed?" "we should go get food" "Indeed." "uhm.. maybe I should drive?" "Indeed!"

                  One phrase I say a lot: "My tang got toungled."

                  This is said when I'm trying to talk, and I mangle whatever it is I was trying to convey.
                  And you're welcome (in regards to my avatar).

                    Let's see...

                    I live in the south, so I use sweetheart, sweetie, honey, babe, pumpkin, etc as a term of endearment.

                    "Imma clutching my pearls" - usually when something is pretend shocking.

                    "Meh"

                    "I have dined sufficently" - said by my late grandfather when he was full. The kids and I have picked it up to honor him.

                    "Fabricgasm" - I saw fabric I liked and I just had to have it. Sometimes I have multiple fabricgasms in the same store.

                    "Bloody!" and other random british slang like "wanker"

                    I do occasionally say LOL or Srsly (said like Cereslee)

                    I have picked up the phrases "some people's children" and "douchcanoe" from CS.

                      ..."Jagoff" ....the Pittsburgh area...quite frequently in fact. No doubt helped by the local media--WDVE loves that word
                      Thanks, makes sense. He was a steel man in his youth. And I can well imagine it has found a place as a "sub" cussword.

                        Four words:

                        That's what she said.

                        Are you related to a certain guy who drives a bulk truck for Pepsi?

                        Some of mine are:

                        "I'm having a blonde moment . . ." - when I do something so amazing, I've amazed myself.

                        "I've heard farts louder than that . . ." - directed at anything that buzzes by, especially those little annoying ricer cars

                        "You are the same old mess . . . " always directed at that one coworker (Butt-Head)

                        "I need to be rocked, burped and put to bed" - after I've ate all I want

                        "You didn't eat THAT here . . ." whenever I'm subjected to one of those "silent but deadlys"

                        And yes, being in the South I'm guilty of using those endearments (honey, dear, sweetie, et al.) But then a lot of my customers do the same, so it's all good.

                          CalyCoRose - I went to a speech therapist when I was little. I didn't form my words properly. These days I (still sometimes have that) and start speaking, and thinking ahead, so I start speaking ahead. So when I get confused it usually devolves to
                          "And he was going to (destination) the at his afternnn... pluhpluh blu... bleh... And he was going to {destination} this afternoon"

                          I'm also encouraging my friends to start using
                          "Good sir, please depart, and fornicate with thyne self." = "Go f**k yourself"

                              I guess I have two catch phrases I use...

                              1) Sometimes I worry about you..other times I REALLY worry about you.

                              2) Conga Rats.
