Adopt a CLEAN swear...
So I know swear words exist, and I know practically everyone knows them.
But I want to know some CLEAN swears you guys/ your characters use!
I'll start off.
Fudge/Fudgemonkey/Fudgecicle/Cornelius Fudge(my fav)
Cat Dirt
Dragon Dung
etc...
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
These are two that are used frequently in my family:
cuttlefish (said with appropriate force)
and
SHUF! (dad tried to say shut up with food in his mouth + realized it would be rude + tried to say shush and choked on his steak = dad shouting SHUF! at my sister. Cue entire family falling on the floor laughing.)
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
I am taking cuttlefish and using both in my novel and in real life.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Isn't it an awesome swear word?
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
I second this motion entirely.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
That's hilarious!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
I love "SHUF!" I'm so sad I can't use it in my novel, because I'd love to use that setting for a scene! =D
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
That reminds me of my friend. She tried to say "shut up" but it came out as "shup". It is now frequently said in my circle of friends :P
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Ah, my mouth was numb and hurting at the same time. We were at school and in the hallway I tried to yell "shut up" and it came out "Thud up". Histarical with a lisp I assure you. I had a whole conversation with the people who overheard it during the only words we used were "THUD UP!" back and forth between us.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Cuttlefish is my new favorite word! Gonna use it all the time!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Hahaha, poor dad. Adopting SHUF!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
"SHUF! (dad tried to say shut up with food in his mouth + realized it would be rude + tried to say shush and choked on his steak = dad shouting SHUF! at my sister. Cue entire family falling on the floor laughing.)"
I had to try really hard to not break out laughing in the middle of this library. XD
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
A friend of mine uses 'junkers' all the time
Oh junkers!
Holy junkers!
Junkers!
Basically good for replacing those general swear words :3
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
I'm totally using junkers, thanks!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Curse of a thousand red lights upon you!

Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Don't forget about Fudgenuts!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
too lazy to scroll down to see if anyone has posted this, but gorram! they use it on firefly.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
My GOD! I say this word much to much in my daily passing! xD
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
My family and friends all say gorram. I love it as a clean swear word :)
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Oh and another one, there's a boy in my class who says "What the FLOWER."
All the time. I love it.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
In my family we say poop nuggets, a LOT. It just seems to be a good clean swear.
Oh poop nuggets.
Poop nuggets! et cetera
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Lol a few random ones I've used in the past:
-Meanie head pie! (actually my sister says this all the time, along with "noodle head" and "cheese-nip pickle")
-Bug bites
-Oh, Twilight! ( I have a friend who hates Twilight so she says this in place of "oh, sh*t" and similar things)
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
oh my gosh the twilight one is hilarious- not using it, but...it's funny
Poop
shut the...front door! (heard this at school...)
oh, shnykeis (not how you spell it, but that's how I spell it...I thought I'd made it up)
frick
oh, shitake mushrooms (can't spell- know what this is from?)
SWEAR WORD
Beep.
Kak (from Circle of Magic by Tamora pierce)

Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
I believe shiitake mushrooms is from Spy kids.
My MC drops 'fudge' like a chocolately machine gun, but here's a few others I'm not gonna use:
Razzle frazzle!
Oh, paperclips!
Haystacks!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
tamora pierce totally rocks. You forgot about dung-sucking, flea-infested, dirt-grubbing (italicized0 NALIZ. ah, good old days
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
My MMC just used shiitake mushrooms, I hadn't expected that to happen XD
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
I use Shnykeis all the time, but sadly don't know how to spell it either.
Leaving:
Carp!
Bull! (I use this one all the time on my Dad)
Jinkies
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
I've seen "shiitake mushrooms" on Austin Powers: Goldmember. Although I don't remember if I've seen it anywhere else as well.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...

Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...

Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
One of my sons says "fudge muffin" and "weasel droppings".
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
SPROCKET!
^Is it not one of the greatest words to say ever?
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
OMG thats the best word EVER!!! *definitely stealing*
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Stealing as well, just introduced a mad scientist who needed a few good, clean swears, all of which culminated on "SPROCKET!"
Thanks!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
OH MY WORD IT'S AN OOD IT'S SO CUUUUTE
(Which is not a swear, by the way. x3 Just fangirling over a Doctor Who alien.)
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
No offence but I have to say I prefer the adorable Ood over your icon O___O *isn't blinking*
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
By careful though an image of an angel becomes itself an angel.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
^^^ I second this.. Can't... blink... Adorable Ood is adorable :D
By the way... Spirited Away is one of the most awesome Studio Ghibili movies there is.. After My Neighbor Totoro and Howl's Moving Castle of course :3
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
All...of...you...are...AWESOME!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
OOD OMG it's so cuuuute
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...

Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
'What the heckles' totally sounds like something I'd say. Unfortunately. Lmao
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Taking Son of a banana boat and Cheese and Rice. Fits the main character perfectly. Thank you.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...

Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Oh I love Carpola! I think I'll use it, thank you!
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Blood and Bloody ashes!
Anyone who can figure this reference out wins.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Is that from the Wheel of Time series? Matrim Cauthon, I think.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Then I win!!
I was going to post a bunch of WoT swears, which I use constantly, due to listening to the entire series as audiobook. (Though sometime I end up screwing it up a bit by adding some of my own favorite swear words in, such as "blood and f*cking ashes")
Anyway, my favorite WoT swears have to be:
Sheep swallop and bloody buttered onions!
Mother's milk in a cup!

"Sweet zombie tchotchkes!"
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...

Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
"Pea soup!"
Had a friend in middle school who didn't want to swear, and she hated pea soup.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...

Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Holy French camel on the stairs!
I actually use that one quite a lot.
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
I LOVE IT! Might actually use it in real life. I write in Swedish, though, so it would sound really weird to have someone shouting "Holy French camel on the stairs" in the middle of everything ... =P
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
"Fargnargle!"
"Rassafrackin'!"
An actual word:
"Hemoglobin!"
and one my uncle uses:
"Buckets."
Re: Adopt a CLEAN swear...
Hemoglobin! That's the best one I've seen!
