    Heh. I've learned the F-word can be used as a noun, a verb, an adverb, an adjective, an interjection, and occasionally a pronoun if you're really creative.
    I'm surprised nobody mentioned the "Uncle Fucker" song from South Park. When I heard it for the first time, I thought it was hilarious

      Finnish 'cause "puska" has a much nicer ring to it than "shit."
      So that's what that word means!! I learned "puska" from a friend of my older brother when I was about 12, but never knew what it meant. Thanks!

        Yup... a common phrase is puskahosel (I probably mangled the spelling) and it means, basically, shitpants.

        Hee.... George Carlin did an outstanding routine on the word. Count on him to be the very picture of gentility.

          I'll cuss a lot and use a large variety of creative words, but only at home. I live alone and can thus rant and rave for hours without anyone telling me to watch my tongue. I do curb myself at work or around people I don't know. Unless I hurt myself somehow.

          I have a fairly young uncle who is an ex-sailor, now-biker, and when I stub my toe, he turns bright red if he's in listening distance.

            I use British swears because no one in America understands them. My co-workers and high school friends were very shocked that I coud swear at all when I was younger.
            I have PMS and a black belt. Any questions?

              I have a real potty mouth (my first word, I kid you not, was F*ck - hearing my dad say it 500 times a day had an effect). My boyfriend does not (I was shocked half to death the other night when he said "shit" for the first time in my hearing - I've known him 3 years). He says thinks like "pants!" or "donkey!" when he's mad or hurts himself unexpectedly. So I'm trying to train myself to do the same LOL I've gotten to the point where my most used "swear" word is "poo!" My kids think it's hilarious, it's cleaned up my language considerably, and now the boyfriend KNOWS when something has REALLY pissed me off, because I'll swear normally then. LOL

                As a teacher, I've taught myself not to swear, at least in the classroom. My favorite phrases are: triple thick fudgesicles, that inhales with great velocity, schostikovitch, firetrucks, eeps, gaak,

                On the rare occasion that I drop the f-bomb, everybody around me knows it's something really bad! For example....I just had back surgery...yesterday, I slipped in the kitchen and went down. On the way down, I hollered, "Oh f***." DH came running! Thankfully, I landed on my knees, with my back still straight, and I didn't twist or wrench anything...but still...

                  I'm a regular potty mouth, but not in front of customers, my mom, or people I'm not overly familiar with.

                  I have taught my pharmacy manager all kinds of new vocabulary, though

                    I swear more than I should. Oh, well. I'm trying to fix that, though. I come up with weird things to say, instead. A current favorite that my coworkers enjoy hearing is "God bless Christmas". Orange, biscuit, balls, loins, brisket are some other favorites. If I can't learn actual swear words in foreign languages (no one will teach me ), I can at least use random words.

                        At my store right now, we all curse freely when there's no walk-ins in the store (ah the joys of a pizza shop with no dining-room), and the Telemarketing Hell I was in just before that had NO language code while you were off the phones.

                        Still, it's only in the past couple months I've started cursing again after being forced to refrain from even using 'frigging heck' at work at McDeeDeeDee's. While I was there I ended up cursing by saying things like 'Oh joyous joy and happy days' in tones so dripping with venom and sarcasm that I'm surprised people didn't slip in the puddles.

                            Stagnating. The at-work boyfriend says it's too hard for me. It is, only because when he speaks it, his voice gets quieter and it's harder for me to hear. I just think he doesn't want me to know what he's saying.

                              *snicker*

                              That takes me back to my old BBSing days. Most boards didn't do anything to alter or disable the automatic censoring software, so all the regular words got you an error, and one of those words was "suck." So, instead of saying that anything sucked, it would "inhale violently."

                              A lot of the free Asian online games have filters, too, and one word that gets filtered commonly is the word "crap." So, a lot of people just say "carp" instead. I actually have taken to actually saying "carp" out loud, too, and that gets me a few odd stares.

                              I will also say "oh, pooh" a lot. That usually gets confused looks from people who know that I do sometimes swear. If I'm in a good mood, all my responses end up much more kid-friendly.

                              I sometimes use foreign phrases, but I got in trouble once when I used one with the transplanted Welsh coworker.

                                I remember having a similar problem here when we still used a swear filter. Words like "fuck" or "shit" are easy enough, but the ones that have other perfectly clean meanings got a little interesting. I remember one time, someone tried to post something about Dick van Dyke, and it got censored twice, just like that on that one Family Guy episode.
