Undercover curse words

I have two children in middle school right now and they really don't want to say the full curse word so they'll say, "Mom, this boy in class said the 'B' word to a teacher and..." I know...American kids these days. Luckily it's not MY children or they'll get twice the @$$whoopings. What's the facination with bad words? One minute my preacher hubby tells me, "oh, they aren't really bad words, it's just what people use them for." then tells me, "Don't swear so much."Well, you know how little girls can be...so pecky. My daughter comes home and we walked to the store. On our way there, we saw some other girls who yelled "hi" to her. Scrat said, "Hurry up mom, I don't like those girls." "why not?" "She threatened to kick my Canadian!" That's our family word for @$$...because it's an "A"...eh?Another funny thing we do between Scrat and I is whenever something gets dropped on our feet or our hair gets pulled by Little Man, instead of screaming out, "OH GOLLY, THAT HURTS!", we just yell aloud, "HA---LLELUYAH!" I guess it's our way of getting that initial "huuuuh" sound that's just as good as anything and we're sounding a lot more pious and holy than, "CRAP THAT HURTS!".*lol*
So, what clever words or phrases have you and your family come up with for those times when "Darn" just isn't enough?

Does that mean I can tll my grandkids to scream "America sucks!" when they get ticked off? Its really as bad being rude to your snowbirds as it is to swear. And I suspect that some of those people you are insulting actually attend and support your husband's church, and therefore pay your bills.

You can tell your grandkids to say whatever they want. If you want them to actually say "sucks", doesn't bother me any. Doesn't bother me that you want them to throw in "America".
I think you misread the discussion altogether. But again, that's ok.

judyt00 . . . She's not insulting people by saying "They want to kick my 'Canadian'" She's using that word in place of "A$$" She's simply stating a fact, They are talking about replacing inappropriate words with different ones..That's no different then using, "heck", "Dang" or "Shoot".

Thank you, that was my point. I wasn't trying to insult any nation, race, colour or creed at all. I'm Asian born, American raised, Jewish converted over from Cathoic...I'm a mishmash of many things so to make fun of someone is making fun of myself. :D

I always used the phrase "Cheese and Rice" if I felt I needed to take the Lord's name in vain. My son picked the phrase "Rats" from his grandpa whenever he felt the need to swear. Good word--especially for an 8 year old! :)

I've also found the acronym "FUBAR" very helpful when the need for swearing comes up. It originated, I think, in my college days when we had been to the bar... "Fouled Up Beyond All Reason." Fouled being a diff. F. :p Now,I just exclaim the word when I burn my finger or just do something stupid like that. :)

After watching Madagascar my 5 year old son will say "Oh sugar, honey, Ice tea" When ever he forgets to do something, or gets hurt..
My kids are still fairly young and so we haven't had to start replacing words with other yet, But I do like the ones you've choosen...

*LOL* When my 10 year old son said "Sugar, honey, ice tea!" I said, "Hhhmmm...that does sound refeshing, doesn't it?" He just slapped his forehead with the palm on his hand and shook his head. Obviously, I'm going to have to watch these movies so I'll know if my kids are mad in general or just thirsty.
