Stuff like “god damn”, “fucking hell”, etc. Anything that stems from religious sources. That includes fudged varieties like “jeez/geez” and “heck”.
And to clarify, this isn’t some attempt to avoid blasphemy or anything. I’m not particularly religious and would rather rewrite the neural pathways for those “defaults”, but haven’t been able to come up with satisfactory alternatives so far.
*To clarify further, I’m all good with most other curses (shit, fuck, ass, etc). I’m not trying to be inoffensive, just non-religious.
Technically, it’s basically equivalent to “oh my god”, but the Vietnamese phrase Oi Troi Oi is outstanding
My favorite come from one of my favorite TV shows, Red Dwarf.

Farscape also had a whole made up vocabulary like “frell” and “dren”.
Frack. Dank Farrik. Sleemo. Kriff.
Here’s a dictionary of them. - https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Fictional_English_curse_words
Gorram it I knew this post made me think of Firefly for some reason.
“Oh, beans” is a good one for replacing the “I screwed up” meaning of"damn it".
Fucking fuck

Wtf

Sometimes simple is best.
SomethingInGERMAN!!!
Okay, little backstory here. When I was growing up, there was this fighting game called Karnov’s Revenge, and it was the 90s, so the characters said little 2 second phrases that more or less sounded like words. My friends and I were fascinated by it, ended up adding many of those phrases to our vocabulary. One of those characters was a giant German wrestler named Marstorius - and some of his phrases were just incomprehensible. So we ended up just yelling “SomethingInGERMAN” when he would pull of his big wresting move. No, not a translation, no actual German words were injured. And boyo did that stick, still say it to this day.
“oh my fauci”
“thank darwin”
I’ve started saying “death” as a curse word
Common swear words fall into religious, sexual, and fecal. If you merely want to evade religious, there’s plenty to choose from. Shit, ass, fuck, etc.
“fuck me in the ass, that’s mildly inconvenient”
i mean, if you say so.

Edit: its highly specialised against people like MAGA, the term originates from americans being angry at the french because they critisized a war made by the USAI’ve apparently offended the entire territory of Quebec with my question, so maybe that’s appropriate XD
oh, that was just a suggestion with a topic that i find hilarious
and sorry, i did not want to insult you(additionally, i am not from Quebec and i probably insult them more with that i dont know where that country is)
Wait are you saying you think Quebec is a country or that you don’t know where Canada is? I guess the username is appropriate either way.
oh, its in Canada
sounds like it could be its own country ^^
oops XD

Rather than “god damn” I usually say “gods damn”. I’m not religious at all, but I’d rather someone mistake me for a polytheistic pagan than a Christian.
I thought the whole thing was that Christians weren’t the ones who use God as a swear word
One of their commandments is to not “take the Lord’s name in vain”. Modern Christians have interpreted this to mean not using the word ‘god’ as an interjection or swear. What was actually meant by it was to not use god as a justification for things that do not comport with god’s religious teachings. You know, like claiming god says you should hate trans people, or that god has chosen you personally to be in charge of everyone. You know, the exact thing Christians do all the fucking time.
I hold to both interpretations tbh
Just say “fuck.”
Oh, I do. Shit, fuck, ass, etc. No problem with those, just don’t like religion hogging up neural pathways.
So replace “fudge” with “fuck.” Unfuck it all.
“Fudged” in the body wasn’t a swear replacement. I was using the word as a word.
I didn’t even realize that, I was just using it as an example.
My point is: don’t replace bullshit words with other bullshit words. Just use the normal words and stop pretending. Say fuck. Say shit. Say hell damn ass cunt. Tell anyone who decides to act offended to get over themselves.
