Dagnabit! Does your family have alternative swear words?

I recently read where swearing is a sign of intelligence.  I don’t care what the research says, profanity isn’t OK for a lot of people.  So, what do you do when you hit your thumb with the hammer?  Your family should have an agreed-upon list of cuss word alternatives.  But, they can’t be just any words.  They’ve got to really feel like a cuss word.  They can’t sound “nice”.  Fiddlesticks just ain’t gonna get it.  Some have proposed William Shatner as an alternative.  I kinda like it!  Then, others like “shitake mushrooms”.  Getting closer.  Fungicidal?  OK, maybe.  You and your family may want to have a sit down and come up with goofy-sounding and somewhat realistic words to use in case you need that one serious swear word.  Make sure your kid’s elementary school teacher knows what the word is so that it isn’t mistaken for profanity and your kid ends up in the principal’s office.
